Want To Attract Mosquitos in Southern Utah? Eat These Foods
Southern Utah got a lot of rain this May, breaking records. This is great news for those of us in the dry parts of our country, but there is at least one bad side effect, mosquitoes.
Foods to Attract Mosquitos
If you just shuddered at the insensitivity of that comment because of your deep love for being swarmed by these tiny, buzzing vampires, then I apologize. I can picture you "awing" as the tiny little hypodermic needle gently finds a perch on your arm and chooses you as its next mini donor, sure it's going to itch, but it's worth it for this chance to feed one of nature's small wonders. If this is you, congratulations! Here’s your guide to becoming the most irresistible snack at the mosquito banquet.
Sweet Treats & Sugary Treats Delight Mosquitos
Just like us, mosquitoes seem to love a good sugar rush. The science is still being tested to determine the effectiveness in sugary treats. Part of me thinks your dietician just added this to get us off the sugar, but if you want to be safe, load up on the cakes, pies, donuts, ice creams and then camp by some standing water to increase your chances for a bite fest.
Beer & Alcohol Make Mosquitos Love You Man
Nothing says "mosquito magnet" quite like a cold beer on a warm evening. The hops are considered to be the ingredient that turns you into the drink of choice for your mosquito friends. So now you can be the life of the party with your pals both large and insect size.
Salty Snacks for Those Salty Pests
French fries, peanuts, and crackers seem to make you extra appealing to mosquitos. So if you’re looking to be the main course, grab a salty snack and head outside. These snacks seem to affect your odor which will make your mosquito farm go gaga. You get bonus points if you eat them outdoors at dusk.
