We usually spray home defense when setting up camp but recently had to use anything we could find for ants! We were in TX and had our first encounter with Argentine Ants ! OMG - you don't ever want them. They have multiple queens with each queen having 1,000 workers. Forgot to spray and in the am our rig had thousands inside on the dash behind the drapes. We were at a COE park and they are working with pesticide companies to find something that will work as a long term deterrent on them, not just kill directly. They were also at the next park we went to. We fought them for a week and made sure we sprayed any time we saw one moving anywhere on the outside of the rig at the 2nd park and avoided infestation. They even drop out of the trees onto the top of the rig -- they don't bite, but go after food with hundreds being on 1 little crumb you miss. On a good note - they are predators for fire ants - will make them move away.
