A sixth grade student in the Philly area needed a science experiment, so he and his Dad, a neuro scientist who had tons of fruit flies thought up an experiment. The went to the growcery store and got every sweetner they could think of, sugar, Splenda, etc... They then loaded up some containers with sweetened food and fruit flies. The one's with the Truvia died within 6 days, the rest lasted a normal lifespan of 2 weeks. See http://www.thewire.com/national/2014/06/truvia-natural-sweetener-is-a-natural-way-to-kill-fruit-flies/372206/
They are now testing to see if Ants, Cockroaches, etc die off in a similar fashion. I'm betting they do.
Try the baking Blend of Truvia, put it in a butter tub with small ant sized holes and place on top of the mound. Then Bee's won't get it. Gotta save the bees or we're all dead. - Albert Einstein I think said that. Let us know what results you get.
