Hi,
On our Penguin, I just discovered a trail of small black ants coming along the concrete driveway, up a block of wood the hitch is resting on, along the A-frame and seemed to be pooling around the corners under the roof.
As far as I can tell, none have got inside the van.
Since I am new to owning a van, is this something quite common and I should be on the lookout for?
Has anyone else had ants trying to hitch a free ride on their van?
Can anyone suggest what I should, and just as importantly, what I should not do to deter the little beggars?
At the moment, I have squashed all the ants I could find and sprayed the wooden block and A-frame with insect repellent (before the can ran out). I am reluctant to spray on the fibreglass or body in case it causes damage to the surface.
regards
Mike
