sitting car blues…….

[angel]

I finally fix my car, that’s been sit a few months. Unfortually being in the yard, the ants found a new home. I spray the door rubbers, trunk & ect w/ window washer. But it’s a temp. fix. I know it’s not a mechanic question but, what would u use in car? I have young kids, don’t want anything to harmful. Any suggestion would welcomed. Thanks again.

Move the car. If there are still ants in there, then there must be a queen somewhere in your car…. Find and destroy the queen. After that, the problem will go away shortly.

I’d get a can of ant spray at the supermarket, read the warning label and then spray it where you used the washer fluid. Usually those sprays advise against direct contact, e.g., like washing your hands in it, spraying it on your skin etc., but on the insulation, trunk, etc., you and the kids should be ok. If I correctly remember my chemistry, I think either a solution of boric acid crystals dissolved in water would also do the trick or even a concentrated solution of table salt either one applied using a spray bottle.
