Default Ant Problem???????

I had to leave my Corvette outside for a couple of weeks until my dad could get a roll down door cut into his shop and apparently he parked my car in an ant hill because I noticed an ant problem today. They were right under the windshield, I could see them on the #VIN number plaque. Any one know how to get rid of them, I think I got rid of most of them with some ant spray in some safe places. Is there a better way? :confused:

Don't know how safe or smart it was, but I had that happen a few years ago at my old house (sadly no garage there) and I used a fogger in the car. Not sure how healthy it was for me to ride in it afterwards, but the brain damage seems minimal, and never had ants again.

all that spray stuff is corrosive to paint and metal if it sits on it i would use a simple bait trap.

Its keroseene based, I don't see as how it could harm any metal, I didn't spray it on the exterior. I'm getting it repainted anyways :) I'm pretty sure I got rid of them for the most part yesterday with a little spray.
