Ant problems?

[Pete S]

I promised the Boss I'd ask all you folks who have sugar shacks, (as we're looking to build):

Do you have "off season" ant issues with all the sweet seam that somthers all the building's interior?

Thanks! (please say no)

There shouldn't be any sugar in the steam only h2o. Never had a problem.

I have never had a ant population in my sugar shack and I spill my fair share of syrup.

Gotta say I never thought about it before but I don't think I have ever seen an ant in the sugarhouse but I see them in the house. Weird.

I've had ants the last 2 summers that chew wood in the rafters of the sugarhouse leaving dustpiles below. Tiny guys, 1/8 inch, that are not carpenter ants. Wiped them out with ant baits. They don't seem to be after sugar residues near the arch at all.

Ian,
I think that I got to do the same ant bait thing myself. I thought that I had em licked last year but they are back.
