Preventing Ants From Joining Your Memorial Day BBQ

Foods That Attract Ants

When your goals involve preventing ants from taking over your cookout, learning what foods draw their attention is a smart move that you won’t want to overlook. Because they love sugary snacks, fruit juice, jelly, and candy are prime targets for ants, but there are also other types of food that you will want to watch. For example, foods that are high in protein can also draw ants to your event. Even though some people try to avoid these foods, you can enjoy your favorite meals without worrying about ants.

Ant Prevention

Keeping a few tips in the front of your mind will work wonders to keep insects from disturbing you and your guests this Memorial Day. You can still bring protein and sugary snacks to your event, but ensure that you clean up any spills as quickly as you can. You can also take a look at the things that ants avoid when you want to stop them from causing trouble. Because ants hate cinnamon, sprinkling some around the parameter of your cookout location will reduce the odds of getting unwelcome guests. Also, it will serve to mask the scent that ants leave behind for others to follow.
