Myrtle Beach????

[dodge_guy]

We will be in Myrtle Beach in July the week after the 4th. we are staying at PirateLand. we will be there for 4 1/2 days.
Other than all the obvious touristy things, what other things are there to see and do? I don`t mind driving a bit to see something interesting.

Thanks in advance!

Powder laundry detergent or borax sprinkled on thresholds deters ants in case you encounter them.

We had our TT stored in storage at both Lakewood and ocean lakes. Never an issue.

I keep our coach at a storage lot for several weeks a year and haven't had ant issues but like I wrote previously I have seen several rv's over the years where the unit came from storage infested with ants. Actually two of my winter neighbors had to spray down their units. They both used different lots in the North Myrtle Beach area.

Maybe they are leaving food in their RV. We never leave any type of consumable in our RV when it's not being used. Even between trips during the year. Takes us all of 5 minutes to get it out and into the house. Of course we only take what we are going to use and often we will just wait to get to where we are going to purchase things. If we have anything left over, we may use it in the house between trips. Just one less thing to worry about (if bugs get attracted or things spoiling/exploding).

Excellent point Brian. We too never leave any food product whatsoever when storing our mh.

We drove up to Wilmigton and went aboard the WW II battleship USS North Carolina.

(There were no ant problems there. LOL)

That is right ants are not allowed in NC!

LOL I think they are required to stop at the border!

Thanks for all the input.

Thanks everyone. I was only going by what I heard/read on the internet (you know how that goes). it sounds like we`ll be OK! I will bring some ant killer/spray just in case though. Now I just need July to get here!

Been to Pirateland twice and never had an ant issue.

I have heard that if there are ants at your site that you can call the office and they will come take care of them. But like I said, we never seen them.
