Vinegar spray at motorhome entrance: purpose and expert recommendation

Ants often enter motorhomes through the door threshold, step, and gaps. A diluted vinegar solution applied to these areas disrupts the pheromone trails ants use to locate food. Research from the Universities of Minnesota and Nebraska supports this method. However, vinegar does not eliminate the colony, only temporarily disorients the ants, so it should be combined with sealing gaps and maintaining cleanliness.
