7/13/23: I poured 4oz of ounces of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water. I moved the humidistat from 55 to 50 to help mitigate the higher humidity this service call.7/13/23: The outer room readings are 58.5% humidity and 86.1° temp.

7/13/23: I found three groups of dead black ants inside the condo. I did not see nor find any live black ants. This time of year ants intrude, looking for food, water, and shelter. It’s not uncommon for many of them to die when they do the others pile them into small groups. Why I have no idea what this is what happens. A pest control company will come out through the area and then when we find piles like this again, they would say yeah we’re doing our job. Nothing to worry about nothing to see.
