It will be gone after few days.

Last time mine also kena. They hide at the side mirror inside. Some managed to got into the car.

Remove them if seen. Wash the car. Vacuum.
Without food, they will be gone in few days.

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.

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

Put powder like that will kill ants inside your car. So, no difference than letting the ants died naturally wink.gif

Why not just put a teaspoon of sugar on rubber mat and take them out once the ants gather laugh.gif

You know they don't die immediately, right? 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.

only the worker ants will go out and if you kill it all the queen will just churn out more.
