What to Do When Ants Get into the Car?

Spraying white liquor on areas where ants appear will cause them to die in clusters, effectively eradicating them. Prepare a basin of hot water, soak a towel in it, wring it out slightly, and then wipe down all the car seats.

Last time I found ants in my car, the entire driver's seat was crawling with them, which gave me quite a scare. I immediately parked the car in a shady spot and used a household vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean every corner, especially the crevices in the seats and the floor, sucking up all the ants and debris. Then, I prepared a mixture of white vinegar and water, sprayed and wiped down the interior—ants hate the smell of vinegar and quickly dispersed. I also checked if there were any bread crumbs or candy dropped somewhere and made it a habit to do a quick sweep every time after parking. If the situation is severe, you can lightly spray a pet-safe insecticide, but don't overdo it to avoid affecting air quality. The key is to act fast; otherwise, the ants will multiply and become a bigger problem. I also sealed the tiny gaps around the car doors to prevent them from crawling in again. Keeping the car clean and tidy should do the trick.
