 Here s an organic & natural solution to ants & other insect problems in your home or at the campground:

 It is much safer to use around humans & little humans [:)], our " four-legged humans" [;)], & food.  Using the cleansers with bleach or borax as others have promoted can be VERY dangerous for your respiratory systems.  And, may even cause other health complications even though they may be used in a  well ventilated  area.
 
 So, why not be safe --or, " safer" -- & avoid health risks?  We all need to get some camping in before we leave this planet.  Let s make sure we are all around for a much longer time.[:D]
 
 Peace be with you all.

 DanusmomAcording to their own data the stuff works when you spray the insects. No way am I sitting around outside waiting for them to walk up so I can spray them. I ll stick to dusting talcum powder around the tires and stablizers.

 DanusmomActually, I have cleaned our kitchen counters & floor with " Citrus Solv"  for a few years now.  We no longer have any insects in our kitchen; nor do we have the cats up on the counter anymore, either.  Hence, I would think using this " Citrus Solv"  or the aforementioned product would be effective if the floors in the PU were cleaned, or the one of the products used around the exterior.  Besides, talcum powder has been well documented to caused lung cancer.
 
 My point is there are many more effective organic methods of control which are not harmful to humans & pets.  And, many of them have a far lower impact on the environment.
 
 Peace be with you all.

 DanusmomLast year we had a few ants so I purchased some of those little round traps, put them in the basement and within a half hour my two son s and myself were all having an asthma attack.  Turns out the main ingrediant to attract the ants is peanut butter! [>:] I ll stick to the ant chalk, sort of like talc powder.
