Went down to the boat today and was astonished to find a large nest of big

marching across the gunnels to the anchor ropes and then down the dock.
Any ideas on how to get rid of these critters? I have already tried AMDRO
and they avoid it.

This almost certainly means that they are carting away something eatable.
Has something like a bird or rat died in the bilge or maybe you left the
fridge open ?

Several times I have followed a line of ants and found the dead catch that
the cat brought in, usually under the bed.
