    Default ants in the car! need help asap.

    my girlfriend drives a camry and there are ants all over the car. it started with a couple of black ants being found inside and outside the car, mostly around the door. we just cleaned out the car and sprayed some raid on the floormats and around the door. we also went through a pressure wash. all the ants were gone and than the next night we found hundreds of ants mostly on the hood and some around the door. there could be some inside the car but it was dark so we couldnt find any at the time. anybody have any experience with this? i need some advice asap. thanks.

    There's food or something sweet spilled in your car. Happened to me one time. Turns out I had a thing of kool-aid turned over under the back seat. I took mine to a carwash and let them scrub it for me.

    Park in a different spot and make sure there is no food in the car. They will die eventually. I've had minor problems every time I park in a certain spot at my apartment complex.

    simple solution. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Just place a lit match in the gas tank and await explosion.

    I had ants in the car once as well... all I did was cleaned the car really good and parked in a different spot for a couple days.

    Change the place where you park now if you live in apartment

    make sure no food there

    kill all if you see any, then wait
