I like picnics but hate ants. I suggest a replaceable sticky strip to form an ant-barrier and keep kids bite free. Sticky stuff would also contain wasp repellent.
Myrmecia sp.

Nice idea - Do ants bite where you
live? |

Maybe some kind of flammable substance could be used. Keep those formic pests at bay with a ring of fire. |

They're nasty little b*gg*rs. It's almost impossible to stand still on any given patch of grass for 5 mins or more. |

How about a galvanic strip around the edge of the blanket? Won't hurt you and the kids, but it should give the ants a boot. You could run it off a 9V battery. |

I wonder if ants would cross a
picnic blanket edge woven from
spider's silk? |

We have an outbreak of fire ants here, unfortunately. I'm not sure whether the forces of Good, or the forces of Evil, are winning. |

There's a lot of nasty ants about, apart from fire ants. We have some critters called Jumper Ants... YeeeooWWTCHH! [link], on Myrmecia species.
There's about 90 species, all of which possess a sting, like a wasp. |
