How To Deal With Unwanted Ants?
I've heard to just sprinkle Ajax (?) around the tires. Is this sufficient? Or are there any other ways to get rid of ants?

- Cucumber peelings on the kitchen counters have helped us for the inside.
- We're taking Home Defense with us this time. Spraying where the tires will land and where the cable and septic line will lay.
We've been fortunate. We saw a Fifth Wheel for sale at Camping World Nashville a few years ago with large bitint ants streaming out of a compartment. Whoever the bought or traded it from, really had an ant problem.
In La at Patriot's Point the fire ants were horrible and everywhere. Rangers came by and put out powder for them then it rained. Finally just brought cans for RVers to put around themselves. they were in the fire pit and around the concrete pad and in the edge of the woods. I've never seen such an infestation.
You didn't dare walk in the grass. This was in January too on our way west and even worse on return trip. Great RV Park. - equal amounts of baking power & powdered sugar in a saucer. The sugar atracks them. Ants don't burp or pass gas, so they explode! It's like watching popcorn pop!
I for one, welcome our new insect overlords, and would like to remind them that as a trusted RVer, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves...- I have found it at my local feed store.
- other than Amazon, where do you get Diatomaceous Earth, food grade. I need this for my home, not RV.

I was completely unaware there was such a thing as wanted ants.
http://m.wikihow.com/Build-an-Ant-Farm- Don't really know where they came from but after we set up yesterday at a park in Decatur, GA, I went out to the truck for something and there were roughly 2,000 ants crawling all over the front cap of the 5r. They were everywhere. Sprayed the cap with "Windex Original" and killed the ants on contact. Seems they crawled up one of the landing gear. Had to spray again about an hour later. What a mess.

Didn't work for us in Mobile AL this past October. Bought Home Defense ant spray at Walmart..worked great on the ant trails through the Comet we used when we parked.
This is what we use. Squirt it on all points of contact with the ground: power cable, water hose, tires, stabilizers, etc....- Get a squeeze catsup or mustard bottle and use that to lay a line of DE
