uhm, I think the real question here is why the fsk are they there in the first place? Personally, I would hose them off asap.

what happened was I had alot of smashed bugs all over the front bumper from the highway and I parked the car on the grass and the car is low enough that the grass touches the bumper so the ants climbed up the grass onto the bumper to eat the dead bugs I guess. I already hosed off the car just now but theres still some there that never seem to go away. I just dont want ants all over the inside thats all.

There are very, and I do mean VERY, few things that are ant proof. No doubt they can get into the air ducts and therefore into the cabin. Chances are though, if you can deal with the stink for a bit, you can just put an ant trap or two in the car for a few days and be done with it.

LOL, that is funny... Just use your pikuchu powars and zap them with electricty. They will learn not to mess with your car after that...

NO

If you leave enough fast food in your maxima the ants will get in.

Other things i have found in my max:


bees
cats
neighbors dogs
bird
a few spiders

stop carring fat chicks in your car no 1. Stop buying them McDonalds when you take them out on dates no. 2.. have them vacuum your car when they talk to you with thier mouth open no 3.

and you won't have any more ants

Yes, ants get in the car. I got ants in mine when I went camping. Girlfriend left a cookie on the floor. It took me over 3 weeks to get them all out.
