My trailer has been infiltrated by a rogue force of Pharoah ants, commonly known as sugar ants. The little bastards can insinuate themselves in the most troublesome spots, i.e. anywhere. I harbor no animus towards them but insist they carry on their operations elsewhere.
A site recommended by a Google search suggested I combat the infiltration with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water, baking soda and commercial poisons. I decided to use the lithium battery powered vacuum cleaner as a first strike. After sucking up many platoons of the the army and depositing them in the fire pit, I sprayed, what to them is agent orange, on all flat surfaces. Next, I spread baking soda around the trailer tires, stabilizer jacks, and the hitch post.
The ants have retreated except for stragglers. I wish I had an Aardvark. But, you should see the look on the faces of the little critters as I brandish the Samsung vacuum cleaner. The look says, " Oh no, the alien space ship is coming for me. Help - thwuck."
