I've got an 04 16 cruiser that I bought back in April, and I noticed some small ants on board. Well it's 6 months later and they are still there I'm pretty sure they are in the styrofoam flotation. Any ideas before I close the boat off and do a bug bomb ?

If they're the little tiny sugar ants, Terro works. Also, identify their food source and get rid of it.

Terro has liquid bait stations.

They consume it then share it with the others

we had an ant issue in the house so I thought I'd try Terro. Placed a pack of in their path and wiped out the whole lot of them in short order. The other option which is more greener, organic, and bio-friendly, would be to stuff an giant ant eater in your boat

It's always good to wake up to a good laugh. I do love this place, bugs and all. Laughing
