anyone ever have an issue with carpenter ants. We have an infestation of them. waiting for a reply from exterminator. They are no common to south Florida. Must have picked them up on trip north.
They definitely prefer wet wood for nesting, but you don't necessarily have to have wet wood to have them in your trailer.
We got them in our fifth wheel when we stayed at an RV park long term. The park was out by itself and bordered the woods. The space was short and I backed the 5th wheel all the way to the end against the trees. The ants came off the trees into the 5th wheel. They were pretty easy to get rid of because they weren't nesting in the unit.
