Can you spray something like ortho home defense in there? I'd hate to mess up fiberglass....

We usually "clean" the boats after use, not a ant was seen. Do have a frog issue sometimes do to all the rain/moisture lately.

I cleaned it the other day.... It looks like they followed the rope from the cajun anchor into the boat.

unless you are needing to use it, just ignore them for a few days and they may go away...had them in my truck once and they left as soon as they saw that there was no food in there...

Inquiring minds "have" to know, why is your cajun anchor out when docked?
Fail, a lot of fail.

If it's under a metal cover check the roof..I had ants in mine and they were coming from a nest in the tin and just falling in the boat.

you have ants in your boat because theres food in there somewhere, maybe a piece of bait hiding or something
