Full timing again in my B, so I'm pretty sure the ants aren't going to make my Roadtrek structurally unsound, but what are they eating? They're not touching my food, not even the banana I leave out every night.It was stored while I was away on one of Uncle's trips for 11 months, so I'm sure they climbed aboard via the electric cable, so they're Texas ants, but not fire ants. Haven't been bit, and they've apparently survived the very old ant baits I put out years ago.I'm inclined to leave them alone unless I get bit, or one of y'all points out a good reason to do them in. There's no wemin aboard, so I'm not yet under any obligation to kill them w/ fire.

If they are carpenter ants, they will destroy the wood in your coach.

I used windex on ants inside. Destroys their trail. Find their point of entry outside and spray with insecticide.

Do them in! Really, do them in! Trust me on that one.I had them enter via the shore power cable on a project I was working on. They wouldn't go away no matter what I did.3 years later they had become a total and true menace.I discovered they built a nest inside my roof of my TT and were breeding there.Trust me, you DO NOT WANT that. I went through absolute misery trying to eradicate them. they multiplied and they were everywhere. I finally found a bait they liked, a poison they hauled back to momma and it finally, after 3 years, wiped out the nest, killed them all. They were in my light fixtures, they were all over my ceiling, in my cupboards, all over the floor, everywhere. Trust me, take the steps needed NOW and get rid of them so you don't have to go through what I did.

Windex or 409 (white and won't stain like Windex sometimes can) sprayed on them and let them sit for a bit! Save the insecticide for outdoors!WoodGlue

I totally agree. You need to get rid of them. I got ants in an RV park in CA. They will take over. The ants I had came up the jacks.
