Default ants in car

i killed an ant or two a few weeks ago and just thought they came in with me...today i noticed 15-25 of these



i dont eat in my car...it sat for a few months and they could have made a home...i notice most of them coming from behind the dash/carpet/interior plastic on the passenger side...which up until the other day was full of the dash from that side so i could access the blend door...

They arent biting me...just crawling around like they own the place

looks like im spending my day off tomorrow pulling the interior and spraying the hell out of my car....

Do like we did growing up. Light it on fire and let it burn.

Just make sure you call the insurance company afterwards.

you have a knife, stab them. make sure none are on you though. Or you can use your fingernail. Damn, they are long.

Pulled back the carpet...saw a shit ton of these little guys crawling around...I'm gonna pour some ant killer around the perimeter in the am...let it air out and hope it works...guess I'll take the carpet out again later and give it a good cleaning underneath

Just put an ant trap under your seat and wait a week.

Ive always just put amdro in the car. Or just move the car. If their nest is on the ground all the ants in the car wont survive away from the nest.
