Sorry, ladies. People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive has ants in his pants.
Or at least in his RV.
I know this must be true, because we’re camping just a few sites away from his Airstream. We have ants in our kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bed. Yesterday when I emptied the water tanks, ants were coming out the sewer hose! I kid you not.
We’ve been besieged by ants here in Malibu. It’s hard to be precise, but I’d estimate we currently have 23,472,822.5 ants inside our trailer. To combat the invasion, we’ve employed a dual-tiered strategy called Operation: Comet Bounce.
Along the exterior perimeter, we’ve dumped Comet brand cleanser. Anywhere our trailer touches the ground (tires, stabilizer jacks, power cords, etc.) we’ve dumped Comet. Supposedly the ants hate Comet.
Inside the RV, we’ve placed Bounce fabric softener sheets. Some will say this is a waste of perfectly good dryer sheets. Perhaps this is true, but now our kitchen counters have a wonderful fresh scent. I can't stop sniffing them.
We are leaving Malibu (and, hopefully, the ants) today. Next stop: somewhere else!

My wife and I are considering a travel trailer to cruise about the country and we both enjoyed your blogs. We actually laughed out loud at some parts and thank you for sharing your adventures.
James, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you are enjoying our blog. Hopefully it offers some idea of what to expect if you decide to take the RV plunge.
BTW, once we left the Malibu campground our ant problems completely ended. I suppose the stowaway ants jumped ship in Anaheim!
A travel trailer is really a great way to see the country. And carrying along a sense of humor also helps. :-)
Cheers,
Sean
