How to Deal with Ants in the Car?
2 Answers
To eliminate ants in the car, you can find a piece of newspaper and place a piece of milk candy on it, letting it melt under the sun. Then, place the melted milk candy along with the newspaper in an area of the car where ants are most active. Since ants are highly attracted to sweets, they will gradually gather on the milk candy. Once a significant number of ants have gathered, simply discard the newspaper.
I was really annoyed by ants getting into my car recently, and after checking, I found out they were attracted by spilled candy in the back seat. First, I thoroughly cleaned every corner of the car with a powerful vacuum cleaner, making sure to get into the gaps between seats and under the carpets. Then, I wiped all surfaces with a mixture of white vinegar and water, including door panels and the dashboard, because the vinegar smell repels ants. After that, I checked the trunk and emptied the storage box to remove the source. Next, I hung a few fresh mint leaves near the air vents as a natural insect repellent. From then on, I developed good habits: no eating in the car and always parking on concrete surfaces to avoid grassy areas. If there are too many ants, try using a safe insect repellent spray, but avoid heavy chemical ones. This approach keeps the car fresh and makes driving much more comfortable.
