Battle of the Ants

We spent Sunday night at a lovely Corps of Engineer's park near Corsicana, Tx, on Navarro Mills Lake. Figured we would get off the "beaten path" and explore a new area. We camped right on the lake and the sunset and sunrise were gorgeous. When we checked in, the volunteer at the gate mentioned "we have a little ant problem so you might want to spray something around your tires." Well, we didn't have any ant spray to put around the rig and we figured we were only going to be there overnight, so how bad could they be? Oh my god!!! We woke up on Monday morning with the entire coach overrun with ants - thousands of them - inside and outside. Not just lines of them around the floor and up the walls but literally all over the floor and the sides of the coach. Needless to say, I went balistic! Ended up sucking them up in my new central vacuum and then mopping the floor with Amway bug spray. Then Roger sprayed some into the vacuum bag! We had planned to spend Monday morning riding our bikes and exploring the park but, we could not get out of there fast enough. Then we stopped at a roadside park and cleaned the cupboards and vacuumed up dead ones. We were driving down I-35 - my skin had just begun to stop "crawling" - and Roger said, "It gives 'ants in your pants' a whole new meaning" - I immediately began to squirm! We are now in Austin and still seeing a few that hitched a ride. First thing on todays agenda is to buy some Tempo to spray around the tires.We went to dinner - Mexican food, of course - we have been in withdrawal for weeks - with Carlos and Megan last night. So good to see them. Going bike riding and tour the Capital building today with Megan. Think we will stay here for a week. Had planned to go to Galveston Island with Heather, Kyle and Samantha but, hurricane Ike has interupted our plans. They may come here if Ike heads their way.
