Thanks lol I'll probably try the vacuum in a few hours or so. Couldn't see any ants when I was outside a few minutes ago so I guess they're somewhere cool in the car.

Just checked outside for ants on the Evo again, found a few crawling on the ground next to the car so I unleashed some ant spray on them. I then backed the Evo out of the driveway and I saw a bunch of little ants on the ground under where the Evo would be! Sprayed them and checked the car for ants and found none. Maybe the ants were in the shade during the day? Anyways, hopefully that's the end of that!

had the same problem with my S2000.. they were all inside the car crawling on the dash, seats, etc.. eventually they went away with driving it more often.. i used to keep it parked for weeks at a time!

Use ant bait in the car and provide another food source ie pb&j close to the car to draw them away

Good luck

I would try to bait them to their death. Since they usually like sweat stuff and hate water grab a jar of honey and put it in the middle of a big bowl with water and leave it in the car. The ants will try to get to it but the water will kill/trap them. My .2 cents but good luck and hopefully you get the ants out.

First time I've heard of an ant problem in a car. Hope you get it sorted out though. Just blow them away with a few top speed runs.

I like this idea.
