OH NO, getting ready to move from the NW to Georgia, I knew we needed to protect against some new things, but this sounds like a real nightmare. We're buying some Home Defense TOMORROW! So you use it every time you stop for an overnight? Seems like you would go through a lot of it.
It is not issue all the time of the year and not every park.
Just a heads up, there are some heavily wooded parks with Black Ants infestation, knowing and being prepared makes camping go smoothly.

Also when setting up site, look for any limbs touching sides/top of RV that would become a path for them. We've made habit for both camping and at home to store food items that would attract them sealed up. Just rolling over the top on an open bag of chips, cookies, cereal, etc. does not provide enough seal. We either put them in large zip lock bags or use the chip clips that lock tight (I think DW gets from Pampered Chef).
They can be aggravating but they don't bite. Do beware of fire ants that make large, usually red in the middle GA area, mounds.
