Hi joli86, notice you are..........asking for help again.

relax ..........

Send your car for a steam cleaning, tell them your problem, this should cost less than 100 buck.

Take care......And dont eat in the car in future..............

I had a similar problem except mine was with black ants. Was in a hurry and didn't realize I partially destroyed an ant colony's nest by parking close to a tree.

Had a hard time getting rid of the ants. After some ant poison and thoroughly cleaning the car twice, 95% clear.

Good luck. :Cry:

got easier and cheaper solution....park under the hot sun, bake your car for a couple of hours and it should rid your car of ants.

but be extra careful where you park these days, especially during rainy season, the ants might juz make your car their new home so try to avoid shrubs and bushes when you park your car.

I tried doing exactly that - baking it under the hot sun but the bloody twits wouldn't go away!! :shocked:

i did this stupid but easy solution and it works...

as the ants always like to hide around the lines of your windscreen....

I had pour the windscreen washing liquid solutions along the windscreen and the windows la.. those ants really ran for their lives.... and never came back... hehehe

i know some will say the solution is concerntrated sure will eat up the rubber along the windscreen, but hack la, those ants won't go away even you spray H2O lei...

Nope, starter spoil... they said if car is dead cannot start is either battery or starter.

MBM had told me b4 to look out on my starter since is not in good condition but had switched car with my bro and didnt get to monitor it closely. So only discover it shortly I switched back my car.

Had solved my ant problem and only after close to 1 month den car dead outside.

Was outside and wanna go elsewhere when car cannot start `, very sianz.
