    It's obvious, go steal an anteater. Google it, I find some interesting things on how to kill things quickly there.

    An anteater would destroy the reefer trying to get at the ants.

    Get the ant poison that they carry back to the nest to kill the colony. The instant stuff won't work. Another option is an Ozone machine, run it for several hours with the doors closed, it will kill anything in there with no side effects afterwards. They are used at car detailers for smells and also used for mold remediation but they kill everything.

    agreed "dryver", tha poison bait thatz carried back to queen/nest......makes sense..........not sure ozone would be effective since ants are in walls/doors of reefer...Than.....but i guess it would be as a back up for any ants that actually found their way inside trailer.........
    thnx "dryver" ur experience is appreciated :biggrin_25514:
