Works on spiders, too.
As a homeschool experiment, my daughter treated a couple ant hills in
our back yard with aspartame. She also laid a trail of the stuff where
we had ants in the house. 36 hours later, no more ants, and a couple of
dead spiders, too. We don't have roaches, but I'd be curious to see
what, if any effect, aspartame had on roaches.
