I've got an Army of Ants Living in my Car :wtf: - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #18014 26 posts Started by 95BlueGT
How the hell does this happen. Im driving one day and i see like 7-10 ants crawling on the sunroof visor, didn't think much of it so i roll down the window and brush them outside. Then on Sunday i cleaned my car, open my sunroof and stick my head out of it and i notice like 50 ants just crawlin around like its just another day. WTF >confused.gif>

I wana know what the fuk are they living off of. I heard they ilke warm places but why my car? >frown.gif> I don't want to fumigate the whole car cuz i think they are actually living in the body of the car, not inside the car. I saw a small hole where they were coming from.. I could just plug it up. Any suggestions??

haha you could always throw a bug bomb in there. i'm not sure if it would smell up your interior though but that's what febreeze is for.
they're taking over, sale it while you can
ok for one CLEAN THE DAMN CAR lol if your are is clean think again look for french fries under the seat.... ect. i you can find them in the cab place a lil ant killer in there (the ones like the roach motels). you dont wanna bomb the car b/c 1.)you will never get the smell out 2.) the fumes WILL hurt you too, there isnt enough air to vent out the car and it will soak into the seats harming little ones. if you can see in the frame were some are spray a lil raid ant killer, the kind that leaves a residue. if that doesnt work then you will just have to wait it out sorry dude

clean your car out VERY GOOD, im talking every little last nook and cranny in the entire car. then put ant traps all over, a couple in engine bay, and a couple inside, and a couple in the trunk. even on the ground under the car. then after a week just vacum out the dead ones and us hould be fine.
haha ive never heard of this. kinda funny but would suck if it happend to me. but since its not me is funny. well um. i hear ants HATE ice cubes.. if that helps, iunno.
ask them to leave?

LoL i HAD the same problem during the summer. spiders were coming out of my damn ac vent. and not lil ones.. im talking about big hairy white spiders. i just kept killing as i saw. pick em up and squeeeeeze. havent seen em since august tho so im guessing ive weeded out all the lil buggers. good luck tryna get ants out of ur car tho... thats like fighting an army of creepy crawlers >biggrin.gif>

hmmm....well you could take a trip up north, and freeze them out.
or you could choose to spray your sunroof where the ants come from with DUST OFF. those are some muthaf**kin cold gas lol. >biggrin.gif>

well it is getting cold in texas...so i think thati'll help me out. Also i wonder if there is some kind of gel as oppose to liquid which i can insert in the hole from which they were crawling in and out from.

And yes i do need to clean out my car mroe often. >frown.gif> but i didn't see ne food or nething when i cleaned my car out on sunday, so i have no effin clue what they are eatin to survive. Unless they ate all the food before i cleaned it out..... >confused.gif>

what ever you do dont let me get a hold of your car.... i hate ants i will kill every single one and tourture them. but heres my best idea
gut the car it takes like 2 hours to do that. make sure the water plugs are still in place on the floor. then make sure all the holes in your firewall are pluged up. ok now for the fun get the liquid ant traps they use in a house. make sure its the kind that they can take back to the hive. use all 6 that should wipe out any ant problem in your home or auto. but make sure its gutted!!! cause then you can 1. make sure theres no spilled coke's or sprites inde the carpet. and 2 it gives you more room to work with. anyway if you really wanna have fun you can get a jar of ants from your car. tourture them 1 by 1, by holding them with tweezers and rip of each leg one after the other. then poor a lil hydrochorlic acid all over them. once you have completed all that you should be fine. if that doesnt work your ****ed. we got huge ant problems in my old house in philly every summer. i didnt start to tourture the lil bastards until they started crawling all over me in my sleep and biting me. that sucked!!! ok good luck.

im tellin ya blue gut the car and toture the lil ****ers.. its time to take revenge on there species. hahahahah j/k dude if there biting you seriously clean your car out.
u could roll up all the windows and leave a hose running in your sunroof to drown the little ba$tards
u could try parking in the sun for a few hours and baking the little basstards
hmm... don't think that'll work gnetik, ants are meant to be in the hot sun, i'll still go with freezing. >biggrin.gif>

i agree with the ant poison that they can take back to the masses....i dont remember what ours was called, but it was a really thick liquid they brought back, and it basically cloged their mouths.....it came in a small bottle and you just put it on some cardboard and let the ands find it. its a sweet tasting stuff, so they like it, and will all be attracted to it. not sure if it would come out of your interior though....so gutting would be a good idea.

Clean your car very well and then use some kind of pest control. I would not worry about the odor... you can take care of that later.
thanks for the suggestion folks...i plugged the holes with some gel. I haven't seen them yet. so i think it worked.
