Kill Pests In The Garden

Ants: Use aspartame (NutraSweet) around the foundation of the house and it will kill the ants.

Slugs: Slugs love beer. Put shallow bowls of beer where you have slug problems and the slugs will fall in and drown.

Aphids: Mix a mild dishwashing detergent and wash or spray the leaves of your plants. This works great on roses.

Does this kill fire ants, or just regular ants?
