How to Remove an Ant Nest in the Car?

In sticky mouse traps, sprinkle an appropriate amount of white sugar, then place the sticky mouse traps inside the car. Ants are attracted to white sugar and will be drawn to it. You can also place an appropriate amount of mothballs inside the car. Mothballs have insect-repellent properties and can help eliminate ants in the car.

Last time ants got into my car, I used a vacuum cleaner to suck them up for half an hour straight, even their eggs were cleaned out. After vacuuming, I used a hairdryer on hot air setting to blow through the seat gaps—ants hate high temperatures and all ran away. I also sprayed a mix of lemon water and peppermint essential oil on the tires and door frames, the smell made the ants avoid those areas. Now, I check for branches and fallen leaves every day before parking, and I never leave snacks in the car. Oh, and I sprinkled food-grade diatomaceous earth under the floor mats—it’s much safer than insecticides, safe for kids and pets, and kills ants physically without damaging the interior. Remember to close the windows and let it sit for half a day after treatment, the ants will completely disappear.
