Spraying for insects

Any of you spray the outside of your TT for bugs while storing?

That's a good idea. We have the inside treated with our normal monthly household treatment. Our pest control company agrees that it is just another "room" so to speak and does not charge extra.

I know a few that carry Foggers with them at all times during the summer season.

Oh and not for storage, but we have a Dynatrap that we set up at our campsite.

When camping we empty trash at least daily. Ants are another problem. Camping or at home I try to spray everything that touches the ground at least weekly, paying close attention to the electric connection. I try to get product with highest active ingredient.

I got rid of two ant nest in our trailer bout a year and a half ago with borax, sugar and water mixed together and put in in butter bowl lids in the area of the ant trail the ants will collect all around it, it will make you want to spray them but don't, the ants will take it back to the nest and kill the queen and the nest, it took a few days but it got them. You can buy the same thing ar Home depot already mixed in a small container but there is only a couple ounces of liquid in it.
