As soon as we parked the rig and connected the electric (for inside A/C), we started our attack on the ANTS. Ruthi dribbled BORAX around the entire RV. Then she did an inch by inch inspection of the grounds looking for the telltale tracks the ANTS make going to and from their colony.
While the BORAX is suppose to keep the ANTS from invading your space, it really just provides a nicely paved/clean highway for them to traverse the neighborhood. But, the good news to that is it is much easier to find the marching columns of ANTS on the white surface. Which means they then get drenched in the poison liquid.
Everyday after Ruthi walks Karma and rides her bike (if temperatures are below 90s), she replenishes the BORAX trail and seeks out errant ANTS. there have been isolated ANTS, scouts probably, that she has dispensed with. One morning, Ruthi saw that the ANTS had gotten onto the rig via one of our bikes - they were climbing up the kick-stand which was outside the BORAX "moat" and following the bike's structure to the chain locked to a hitch connected to the RV and from there all over the side of RV. Out came the deadly spray and they were eliminated!!!
Then Ruthi went inside to verify that they had not yet gotten into the interior spaces. Phew, no ants there!!!
