Re: I killed ant beds with sweet n low
Parts of Australia have been inundated with ants this year. They are getting into everything.

Certainly worth a try.

Thanks OP!

When I lived in Austin, TX, I used aspartame to kill all our bugs and roaches... Works great on fire-ants!

Re: I killed ant beds with sweet n low
Ugh. I was raised using sweet n low since Mom is a diabetic. Sugar tastes weird now...

Interesting read. I remember a few months back reading that they came to the conclusion aspartame in fact doesn't hurt you as previous thought.

[link to www.aspartame.org]

Recently, several governments and expert scientific committees (including the Scientific Committee on Food of the European Commission, the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency, the French Food Safety Agency and Health Canada) carefully evaluated the Internet allegations and found them to be false, reconfirming the safety of aspartame. In addition, leading health authorities, such as the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The National Parkinson Foundation, Inc., the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Lupus Foundation of America, have reviewed the claims on the Internet and also concluded that they are false.

Just something to read and ponder.

Aspartame kills.

I have tried everything from store bought ant killer, boiling water, grits, borax and a glass. They just move and make another bed.

Stirred the ants beds up, then sprinkled with 8 - 10 packets of sweet n low. This morning they are gone. Will let you know if moved.

Last year, I killed a mouse with a little dish of aspartame.

Aspartame is soley responsible for the autism epidemic, its metabolites are potent neurotoxins and cross blood brain barriers of fetuses across the placenta.
Autism took off when aspartame got added to everything and its still progressing. .

Re: I killed ant beds with sweet n low

easy way to solve which product to use....which color was the packet? :-)

Which fake sweetener is in diet coke?

 Quoting: KarinZa


You can also try planting peonies if you're in the right zone (they're fine with 3-8, so few places in US should have big problems). Even if the ants makes the blooms not so nice, they love them and will colony closer to the plants than your house. They don't feed on the plants themselves, only the nectar, so the plants don't mind - just leave the ants be and they won't want to feed from your kitchen.

They're crazy fast dividing perennials that last many, many years too.

Even if they only solve half the problem (spring season before bloom time might require other short-term control solutions), it's still, literally, a beautiful idea :)

Just looked it up.

Sweet n low contains saccharine, but not aspartame.

It has other stuff in it, but not aspartame.

BS Flag here.

Autism has been around forever. Historians now think most, if not all, of the great classical composers had autism in some form Mozart, Bach, Handel...all of them. There was no such thing as Aspartame back then...what caused these guys to have autism??? They even think Albert Einstein probably had a mild form of autism. You only hear the term autism more now because it wasn't properly defined in the past. People didn't know what it was..they were just classified as mentally deficient or whatever.

There is no proof that aspartame causes autism or anything else. This all a bunch of internet urban legend BS.

If you don't sit on your butt all day and get out and get some exercise, don't smoke, keep your weight down and stay away from drugs and alcohol..you'll probably live to be quite old and be pretty healthy.

Same here, with splenda.

Splenda was initially made as an ant killer, but was decided that because of all the research money spent, they wouldn't get it back as an ant killer. They also discovered that it was sweet. They tried for 10 years to get it into the food industry and Donald Rumsfeld approved it.

"Sold commercially under names like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal-Measure and Canderel, aspartame can be found in more than 6,000 products. "Aspartame (NutraSweet) appears to cause slow, silent damage in those unfortunate enough to not have immediate reactions and a reason to avoid it. It may take one year, five years, 10 years, or 40 years, but it seems to cause some reversible and some irreversible changes in health over long-term use." "Aspartame has a profound effect on mood and cognition....depressed mood, anxiety, dizziness, panic attacks, nausea, irritability,
impairment of memory and concentration."

Re: I killed ant beds with sweet n low
You can thank Donald Rumsfeld and Ronald Reagan.
They are the reason we humans consume aspartame.

Aspartame was ant poison.
Searle Corp was scrambling to find a solution to the 'saccharin' problem. That being, floods of studies linking saccharin with cancer.

Searle submitted aspartame to the FDA who soundly rejected it as a food additive, more than once.

Searle CEO Rumsfeld had a buddy in Reagan.
Reagan issued an Executive Order changing the way the FDA approves food additives.
Rumsfeld's Searle Corp resubmits its ant poison once again to the FDA.

This time the US-FDA approved it for human consumption..

I've been telling people this since the late 1980's.
Aspartame is poison. :(
We all breathe the same air.
