Flies attracted to Kava ?

[Plantacious]

I usually drink my kava outside, and every time that I do, practically, I become surrounded by flies.
It's really a problem, because they land on my cup, on the rim where I drink it, and even land on my lips.
I'm wondering if it's the kava, or is it something else ?
Does anyone else have this happen ?

Are we talking about those little fruit gnat flies? If so, and this might be an odd question, but do you use a nicotine vape?

I know the ones you're referring to, but these seem to be the "typical fly". And I do not use a vape.

Gotcha. The reason I ask is I found the fruit gnats are super attracted to e-liquid and those that vape get "visited" in the face quite often if they're around.

That's odd. I haven't had any issues with anything being attracted to the smell of kava, not even me

Could be the things I add to the kava - like Stevia, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Coconut Water...now that I think of it.

ah yeah, I bet it's the coconut water and stevia.

Ah, I find ants are quite attracted to Kava. They can find it very quickly, within seconds or a flash moment of setting down a shell or empty bilo. I am wary about using any honey or sweetner outdoors because of hornets. So far I mostly only bring ants to my kava ceremonies.

Sometimes they want to attack my mixing bowl because they are suicidal.
