ANTS? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING RIGHT? NOW WHAT I AM I GOING TO HAVE TO START FOGGING MY BOAT TOO?

Glad that's all it was. I never get away from a mechanic without it costing me at least $300.00!

were you hiding a sandwich behind the steering and just forgot about it? lol

Ants are attracted to certian types of metals, especially electrical conductors. They will flat ruin contacts on a central air conditioner compressor

Haven't found any ants in my boat but I am having a real problem with spiders! Glad they got yours fixed.

I have been battling ants in my boat all spring. I'm surprised I don't have a major fish kill around my boat due to all of the chemicals on it. Come to think of it my fishfinder just started screwing up this spring as well, never thought about them little buggers doing something to it. Although they are quick to clean up crappie nibbles smashed into the carpet.
