ok i didnt really know where a post like this belonged so i decided to post it in the appearance section, since i dont like the appearance of ants in my camaro.

Anyways, this weekend there was a big rain storm, my camaro was parked in a wooded area and i believe that i parked near or on a large ant mound and all the ants decided to head for the nearest dry place (my car).

Needless to say, i now have alot of ants and their babies taking refuge in my car. I pulled the A-pillars, kick-panels, knee panels under the dash, door panels, and there are ants everywhere, i also spotting several ants carrying larva up into my dash, and had many ants crawling out of air vents. I also spotted the majority of them going under the carpet when i lifted the kick panel. My question is what is the best way to get rid of almost ALL of these ants? Im slightly OCD and i HATE ants, i keep my car fairly clean and dont eat in there often so i know it doesnt have to do with that, BUT i did read that even a crumb can attract ants, but still. My plan is to pull everything that i can, carpet, un-needed seats, dashpanels etc. and to clean/spray and ant trap as much as i can. Does anyone else have any experience or ideas on dealing with this?

 

I'd just go to the store and buy a set of insect foggers. If you aren't familiar with what those are, they are just a can of bug spray that you put in an enclosed area and set it off. It completely fills the area with gas for a few hrs, killing everything in there. I did it once on my old car because i use to have to park it under a tree and all sorts of spiders would find their way in there.

 

maybe ill take everything i can out, (so i can fog it and not have my seats and carpet stink of it for months) then fog it, then clean, spray as needed? sounds like a plan, but its gonna take awhile, oh well, ill just drive it here and there with all the stuff out except the drivers seat and seatbelt, lol, itll feel like im in a race car, atleast tahts what ill tell myself so i dont feel like im in a total POS, lol

 

ive been in that boat MANY times lol, its fun to play race driver while ur car is torn apart inside.. or in my case usually outside... anyway good luck gettin rid of those ants, theyre a pita to get rid of sometimes
