Ants in the cab

[manbehindbeard]

I've somehow acquired ants in the cab of my LR3. They seem to show up on my dash every morning...just 2 or 3 at a time. Then I'll see them when I get back in the car after work.
No food in the car.
My wife took the car this weekend and left it parked for about 36 hours...said they were in the backseat this time when she got back.
Anybody had this? What's the solution...just ant traps? I'm afraid bombing would create a funky smell forever...
Thanks!

Get some Terro ant traps and put a few of in places you have seen the ants in the car, after a week there will be no more ants. Make sure you leave the traps there for a while up to 3 months

The pricipal is they capture the scout ants so the rest never find out if there are delicious goodies in your car

Also, look for their trails around where you normal park, think about a Boric acid (SP?) powder to treat the area around your house car

Happy hunting!

Ore start spraying ant killer on the carpet up under the dash, and across the fire wall.
Quit eating/dropping crumbs and vacuum the truck once in awhile.

Thanks for the help everybody. I set some ant traps under the seats last weekend and I haven't seen any ants in the last couple days. Looks like that worked.
Also, Mike, thanks for instructing me on the proper care of the interior of my vehicle and giving me the guidance on what I should or shouldn't do in it...greatly appreciated.
