Ok using marshmallows is working great except in the heat of my truck they become one big melted blob. Any way you guys stopping this?

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I think wink would say you aren't eating them fast enough!

Try a small styrofoam cooler in the cab...

Okay, maybe I cheat. I keep them in their original bag out of the sunlight and I park the truck in the garage when I'm not using it.

I haven't had a melted marshmallow in years and I just baited a couple of cages an hour ago. Please keep in mind that I live in

Wisconsin where global warming is still just a pipe dream.

Do you carry a cooler with water or ?, if not maybe you should, to keep hydrated.

Ok. I'll get a mini fridge for the truck. That's a write-off right?

One reason that we use so many marshmallows is because we have so many raccoons and with their night vision, marshmallows really

stand out.

The way I fix this problem is as soon as we purchase a lot of marshmallows, we open all the bags and let them sit in a cool dry room. They become a little stale and start to harden. Once they do this they no longer seem to become sticky and work the same.

Use popcorn or flavored popcorn when the heat is on.

Marshmallows draws Ants this time of year, for me. Popcorn, like Bob J. stated.
Plus, I like eating Popcorn more so than Marshmallows.
