So I just bought another project boat this past week. The boat had been sitting uncovered under a tree for the last year and half, and now besides the normal dirt and crud, there are red ants walking all around the boat.

They are ontop of the bow, on the gunwale, transom..you name it and they are there..

any suggestions on how to get rid of these things would be awesome.

thanks
 
Malathion-50/// Available at garden supply.

Put in hose end sprayer and spray entire boat. this will be end
of the road for all insects it contacts.
 
Also, set out some the traps, I think d-con makes some.
 
how about I take lighter fluid and a match to your boat? seriously dude that wasnt even funny, just a dumb comment from you.
 
I had a nest of carpenter ants take up residence in my boat this spring. I bought Combat at my local hardware store. Comes 6 baits to a box. Works on all ants. Its a solid bait. The ants take it back to their nest and everybody, including the queen eats it and dies.

Dude, Chill Was it a dumb comment maybe but it was in regard to getting rid of ants and not about your boat. Kick back and enjoy a Fattie.
