We were down at Ocean Grove a couple of weeks ago, staying in a nice CP. Lazing quietly away when that crawley feeling came upon us. ANTS all over the place.
Mad rush to find the surface spray. Wasn't quite full, so went mad and sprayed every conceivable entry point . Emptied the can, peace at last.
Next day restocked with surface spray. Just in case .
Rest of the stay was ant free.
Kevin.

One brand (I think they have the loose, not bolted on ones,) you just shove them under the legs and wheels.
For the jockey and the other items, hoses, power cord, annex poles, ropes etc I just use an insect surface spray, it 's always worked for me, may not suit some but I am happy to use it......

Ants will climb anything and everything, even an overhanging tree to get to the food in your van. I have seen them get into the foil pouches of cup-a-soup to take out all the "good" stuff, and all that's left when I tried to make soup were the noodles and a bit of gritty stuff. I have a cup thing for the jockey wheel to stop it rolling. I release the park brake once I'm settled in. I bolted the stabiliser pads to the legs, but I also use stands when I'm parked long-term. I then take the jockey wheel off and stow it. The best way to defeat the ants is to not provide food. Keep most food in the fridge or in screw cap jars - plastic or glass will do. I've seen them get into Tupperware-type plastic containers. They get up annexe ropes and poles and walls, cables, hoses and more places than you'd think possible. Just don't feed the resourceful critters.

Cheap Talcum powder,mixed with a heap of cheap black pepper does the trick.spread around your jockey wheel,and stabilisers and wheels,anything that touches the ground.works a treat.
