We don't use chemicals, we use vaseline. We coat anything that comes into the RV with it and they can't get in.

You have to let them get the bait and take it back to the colony.<br /><br />When I was an apartment complex manager, I got a lesson in ant psychology from our pest control guy. He explained that ants send out scouting parties to look for food. If the scouting party doesn't come back (ie. you smooshed them), they will send another scouting party, ad nauseum. The only way to get rid of the problem is to destroy the nest. Terro bait is the most effective. I went from a major problem to no ants in less than 48 hours.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477204159405707320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-9352276207060302362014-02-13T08:44:04.498-08:002014-02-13T08:44:04.498-08:00It's a losing battle , based upon my experienc...It's a losing battle , based upon my experiences in past Februaries in the Florida Panhandle.
