The cute little cartoon characters in that movie are misrepresented! I got up after our first night in the CoE park to find 4-lane thoroughfares along the outside of the coach. Nuked them and the next morning there were basic, 2-lane trails on the inside. Dayemn! Went to WallyWorld and picked up a sample of everything that had pictures of dead ants on it. They seemed to really like the Terro drops and they are either all having a big party inside the walls from their Terro-high or I have killed off a bunch of them.
I now spray the jacks, water line and cables every time we stop. Not sure if the infestation happened when we stopped that first time or if they had been establishing residence while the coach was parked in my driveway.

Ahhhh, peer-group support.

As a kid, we had a big garden and part of my chores was to water, hoe, rake, de-bug, etc it. I hated when Mom planted squash because it attracted those big 'squash-bugs' (I'm sure there's a technical name for them) and it seemed like no spray or dust would get rid of them.
My grandfather one day suggested a pair of pliers. Being a gullible kid, I ran and got 'em for him. He then showed me how to eliminate those bugs..... one at a time.
So, how much time you got on your hands there, fella?

Well, I tried the pliers but the little buggers kept ducking in between the groves. So, I put my shrewd RocketScientistBrain (tm) to work and decided that tweezers would be just the tool. I currently have 27.5 manhours invested and the count is 6,437 antz-in-the-bag. Next time I think I'll just go with BugOut and spray them.

I'd guess a hammer would work as well, too...
