So I park in the grass, well use to now. And with all the rain I guess the ants were driven out of the ground.... and in to my car. I have seen them just about everywhere. I went to squash a few earlier and I tapped on the passenger side door sill, yea that was a mistake. Ants came pouring out. And when I lifted off the sill, my eyes about popped out. TONS of ants, eggs, the whole bit. Spectracide ant shield as soon as I get home. Soooooo pissed...... fml

 

Well that's no bueno.

 

Yea dude I about wanted to flip the car over in a fit of rage

 

My mom had a mid 90s Toyota rav4 when I lived at home, and somehow she got an infestation of flying ants in that thing once and they came flying out the vents when she turned the A/C on while she was driving me to a friends house. Straight up horror movie s***. Freaked us both out really bad.

 

Were they fire ants?

 

I don't blame you. I get upset when someone eats in my car because of the crumbs....i'd go insane if something like this happened.

 

I feel ya - I have a bit of a spider problem from time to time myself - I use Spectracide to spray around the house and what not - I make two circles around the car now and with nothing to eat, hopefully they'll all be gone soon. Also some lawn spray goes a long way in keeping critters away from your house & driveway. I have two drains on either side of the street so I know roaches are always a potential problem - and with the woods nearby, everything known to nature can make it's way to my home.

First thing is secure the perimeter with some type of ant spray / guard like I mentioned above. Vacuum all the critters you can find and hopefully they won't find anything to munch on, though you'd be surprised the things ants *can* eat... like asphalt. Clear out any food/crumbs and remove the incentive. I wouldn't recommend spraying anything in the car as you will smell it and likely get sick. Perhaps you could use some dry ant poison/bait if you remove it after they're gone.

 

Thankfully not. I would have crashed that ***** in to a tree lol

 

Yea I never eat in my car so there's no crumbs. I went HAM last night with the spectracide ant shield inside and out on my car. I usually ride with the windows down so it should air out. Gonna hit it with the vacuum on my lunch... I see this being like a two week ordeal.... Fml lol

 

At least you're facing it with enthusiasm. Haha

 

Haha yea true. If they arent gone by the weekend I'm gonna throw a tarp over the car and bomb it. Bang bang son lol

 

Haha

 

You guys have weird s*** happen to your vehicles up there in the Northeast, what is wrong with the infestations around there?

 

Pete I'm in Florida man lol. Freakin critters are everywhere haha

 

Creatures do weird things when hurricanes and storms approach. Birds especially go ape snot.

 

"I say take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Good Luck with the ant problems, hopefully they'll be gone soon. One way or another!

 

Yea I think I've got em pushed out to the engine bay. This is so dumb lol

 

pics???

if it wasnt inside the car I was say :killitwithfire:

 

Ehh you wouldn't be able to see much, they're wicked small. Gonna spray the engine bay today. Hopefully that'll be the last of them

 

I've hot my fingers crossed for you.
