Anyway, lately they've been swarming the top edges of the hot tub. The hot
tub sits on a gravel bed surrounded by a wood frame with dirt or grass.
It's going to foggy with occasional periods of rain until next summer. What
do you think my best ant-kill and return-prevention options are?


It can depend on what type of ant you are dealing with on what to use.
If it is a small ant most of the common gel baits probably will work
whether they are a species that is living in the ground around the tub
or it being one that lives in the insulation or lining of the hot tub
itself....Terro..Combat, though depending on what their colony needs
are may determine if they are looking for sugars or proteins. If it is a
large ant they probably are carpenter ants that would require a more
specialized bait or professional treatment.
