My wife and I recreated a scene from a medievil flick by pouring hot water on them and tossing them over board along with their eggs, making the local fish happy I hope. I have tried ant traps and stuff but the little buggers keep returning. We keep the boat clean and rarely eat on it. Anyone else have this problem and are there any other solutions other than hiring an anteater. Seriously though HELP !!!!!!  |
That's a new one for me. I've yet to see ants on any boat I've had but perhaps that's because all the spiders ate them.
I have to believe they're getting aboard via the lines ties to the dock posts or perhaps across the fenders. Perhaps you could treat the posts with some poison (Terro) ? Spray the undersides of the dock with something effective ?? Maybe you need more spiders ....
