: Close your hatches and get a cockpit cover.

He got one - thanks to a concerned individual in the local kayaking community (with whom he might have done the Royal River last weekend). I suppose that with a little time all of the ants already inside will likely kick the bucket. The question is how long will that take?

: Brush bugs off with broom.

He'd be better off with a shop vac - they're all over the inside! Tee hee! Crawling up his legs, down his arms, in his shorts! Oh, it was pretty funny to watch!

cheers!
