Use the RM1 bait from Chinese shops. Put in a small container, leave overnight or longer. But won't work so much with fire ants.

Ant without food will live for 3~4 days only. Why worry?

Park your car in the middle of a car park that is hot and far from food/water source

One is usually enough when you put in a small container like the chilli sauce container from McD. One pack divided by 3 or 4 and put around the car is usually enough.QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 13 2017, 12:46 PM) When you consider how little the effort needed to do it, might as well do something. After all, you never really know what crumbs can be found somewhere in the car. |

Happened to me few months ago.
Tried vacuuming and clean every corner of my car with water, even tried spraying with bug spray, but there are still ants. One week later all the ants are gone. Suggest u just wait for a few days or buy some ant bait |

So, no difference than letting the ants died naturally When you consider how little the effort needed to do it, might as well do something. After all, you never really know what crumbs can be found somewhere in the car. Why not just put a teaspoon of sugar on rubber mat and take them out once the ants gather |

And they will go where they decide to "share" their food. and all it needs is one bait session and you're done. up to you, you may not be too fussy, but that doesn't mean others aren't.Why not just put a teaspoon of sugar on rubber mat and take them out once the ants gather |
