Bugs in TT when not in use?

When you're not using your TT do you put bug poison or roach bait in the TT? I'm curious to know how others are handling this situation.

  • I had a problem with Argentine ants, an infestation I think I picked up in Las Vegas a couple years ago. After fighting 'em for a while with ant bait traps that didn't help at all, I decided to try diatomaceous earth (food grade). The basement, the area under the water heater, furnace, fridge, and plumbing all got a thorough cleaning and re-dusting with the diatomaceous earth, and I haven't had ants since.

    Stink bugs, on the other hand . . . . (they are immune to everything).

I can only guess that a couple got in there during the trip and managed to multiply once the TT was parked next to our house. It took hours to get all those dead flies out of the camper. Yuck.


    I had the exact same thing happen to me. No idea where they came from. They were pretty big, too.

  • We have the pest control company that takes care of the house also take care of the RV at no additional charge. No bugs in camper.
