I missed the original post, so this may not be peritinent to it, but
seems pertinent to the thread in general. Combining sugar and yeast and
putting out for the ants to eat is supposed to blow them up when the
yeast starts to grow! Have not tried this but I like the idea.

Bread has yeast in it and sugar. Never saw an ant die from eating
bread.

Aspartame is harmful to folks with PKU, but I cannot see how anything a
human would consume would be harmful to ants unless it was beer and they
drowned.
