Ants!!!....Help!!!
My 94 coupe has little ants that I constantly keep finding around the outside of the doors and just inside the doors. I also find them on the roof and around the back of the car. I have not found any on the interior yet. My question is, how the hell do I get rid of them. Thanks in advance for the help.

i dont really know the best way to get rid of them, but if you live in a more northern climate, i think that the winter will take care of that problem for you.

If your car is left outside, goto Lowe's or Home Depot and get a small bag of Diazinon. Sprinkle the pellets all around your car, driveway, yard, and then soak the pellets down.

I had ants problem several years ago after a rain storm. No matter how much I vacuumed, more ants appeared. I even used the "roach motel" types of poisons.
Then one day, as mysteriously as they appeared, they were suddenly gone. They never came back.

Thanks guys (even for the jokes :D ). There is ants on it even in the garage, I was going to try ant traps as I'm sick of killing the little SOB's :reddevil . Should I spray ant killer on the carpet? Thanks for the help because this is real frustrating to have an expensive sports car with ants.

Track the little critters back to their house, probably in the ground somewhere. They are pretty easy to find, they travel in lines. Once you locate it, dump about 1 gallon of gasoline on the hole. They will never return trust me.
I tried every ant killer outside my one set of apartments. The ant started making a hill under a small apple tree just outside the apartment. Nothing killed them. Finally the gas was used. There must have been a million of them. After that petroleum trick, never saw another!

I thought Diazinon has been banned?
Home Depot has got some stuff called Amdro that works great. They bring it back to the colony, then they all die.
