Marshmallows and maybe some grape jelly.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Marshmallows and maybe some grape jelly. Marshmallows and the grape jelly end up melting in this heat. And ants will cover the entire trap.

I’m having good luck with marshmallows and Steck’s high water rat and coon bait. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

A trick that has work for me is a feather hung from fishing line in the cage. A bright colored one with lots of fluff like you might find in a feather duster. A few drops of hawbakers coon lure, heavy anise, or cherry oil has aroma without the ants. I actually do do the feather thing more of the then not. I'll have to get some cherry or anise oil though

May be a crazy idea but hold my beer lol. What about putting marshmallow fragrance oil on cotton balls?

But I do like trailing them in with a handful of dry catfood and ants are a PIA.
Have you tried that odorless ant poison some on here have mentioned? Believe it or not, but the owner has sprayed for ants at the place I’m on now. He’s dead serious about quail and turkeys.

If they're raiding my sweet corn, I bed some 1-3/4 coil springs with aluminum foil wrapped around the pan. Shines in moonlight, doesn't attract ants, dogs or cats. Very effective in this MS heat
For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Very effective in this MS heat Always heard of it, but don’t understand it. So they want to stand on something shiny? Or do they try and pick the set up and get caught?

They are curious about the shiny thing and get caught when they try to pick it up.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
