Common problem around our house. Seems like the red ants love electricity.
They will run around inside the pressure switch on our well - every time the switch closes it will smash a few ants - in time, the switch will be so gummed up that the contacts have to be cleaned with a point file/emery. We keep a windrow of Sprctracide granular bug killer around the well pad to keep the little critters from getting in there. haven't seen them in or around the trailer - touch wood. Like the idea of the bait traps.
