i got in my car today and I seemed to have an ant problem. there were a ton of ants running around my center console. Has anyone ever had this problem? What can I do to combat this there were a lot of them. Thanks!!

 

musta spilled something sweet there. kill and clean

 

As suggested, remove the food, the problem goes away.
Set out some ant food.
You might vacuum them up as best as you can, then set out ant food.
Believe it or not, dead ants do smell, thus the reason to vacuum up as many as you can.
You may have to shampoo the carpet and clean the interior several times and spray the bejesus with Frebreeze.

 

I took the center console out of mine and found all kinds of yuck. Spilled soda, old fries, about $3 in change. Also pulled the seats and use da small portable carpet cleaner.

 

Its in my Mustang. i bought something called terro and I put it on my center console I went out there a few hours later and it was covered in ants. I even saw a trail of where they were going. So hopefully this solves the problem. I'm gonna wait and clean the heck out of the car this weekend.

 

oh well let the ants have it. lol.

 

I dont eat in my car!!!

 

The stuff you put in the car should work. The ants take it back to their nest thinking it's a yummy snack, and it poisons the colony. Kinda like how one Ford owner might recommend one to a friend! lol

 

Terro is good as suggested. The more, the merrier.

 

Update!!!! So I put the Terro in my car last night, looked inside this morning and I saw nothing and the Terro pack was pretty much empty. i took it for a little drive to get some lunch and not a single ant.

Now this is the question that I pose. Where the hell did all these ants go?? Can there be 100's of dead ants inside my dashboard somewhere?
