Dealing with Unwanted Pests

Tip for dealing with mosquitoes. Put some water in a white dinner plate and add a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoors area. The mosquitoes will flock to it and shortly afterward will drop dead after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture (generally within 10 feet of the plate).

Tip for dealing with undesired ants. (I don’t think it works on undesired uncles!) An article in a recent newspaper mentioned that the artificial sweetener, Aspartame, was originally used for ant control. The article said that pouring the powder over an ant hill or other ant infested area that you want to control and sprinkling just a tiny amount of water over the powder to moisten it will eradicate ants. I had to try this one out for myself and see if there really is a legitimate use for aspartame. Based on my limited experience it really does work when used this way. Give it a try and let me know how it works on your ants.
