My aunt was visiting from Iowa....and they parked their camper at my sisters...after about 2 weeks they went to get in and there was a row about a foot wide going in after some sugar coated dried fruit that the lid popped off when they were traveling. They killed them off using terro liquid bait...they thought....then after going to Arizona they had another outbreak of them....they must of been in the walls of the camper and came back out in swarms....nothing from the outside just from the inside of the walls. After a month they are almost gone...but what a pain in the you know what.
Any helpful hints how to destroy them around Fallbrook....bet many, many people in the San Diego County would love to get rid of these nasty ants.
Thanks, Catlover
