Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Well, I have fire ants in our bathroom. I sprinkled a package out in the corner where I saw about 10 ants. Later last night it seems they invited many of their friends, cousins and neighbors to the party! It looked like they were having a conga line carrying the little particles of Equal back into the wall. I could hear the drums, the shouts of hurrah, the tamborines, etc as they were so excited of this little treat! Needless to say I was not so sure about this experiment. This morning I woke up to two small piles of red dots on the floor and no Equal particles! I don't have a microscope to see if these are dead ants, but I'm assuming (hoping) so. Or, these are very large ant poops. There are still a few scavengers around so I put another packet out, but only 10 or so latecomers came to this party. Not as many as there were last night, so we'll see what tomorrow looks like. I have an ant bed out by our garden, so I'll try with that as well. Will report on that later.

I eventually got the Aspartame sprinkled around where they are. And like magic they were gone. I did not see a pile of dead ants, maybe 1 or 2 but they never came back. Figure it out, I can not really say as there were none really dead. I may have smashed 2 of them with my finger. I am not going to quit with this, I have 2 more pkg, if I find any ants. sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I bought some to try....I had a few mounds of fire ants and sprinkled it on them. Didn't do anything....but after the rain hit and washed the Aspartame into the nest...no more ants. Did I see any dead ants...no....but I didn't see any live ones either.
