I've actually been approached by Honda and i've been asked why is there Ants commonly in Accord's. Im dumbfounded why there would only be in that particular model. Something in those ECU. Ive actually told them to give me the ECU so i can take it to my entimologist to see what is attracting those ants. But i never heard back from them.

I don't know anybody with the same problem but I wouldn't use anything too strong chemically inside your car cause you'll be breathing the fumes even if your windows are open. It will stink and it's also poisonous. Give the car a good clean, vacuum and kill the ants with your hand as you see them. Unless there's a nest in there it should go away.

my chemicals are odourless. Harmless. I spray childcare centers while there still operating. Safe and effective. Pest control is not the way it use to be.:thumbsup:

Had the same problem once, parked on some grass and had heaps of these big ants crawling around my car, up my leg and shit

Few days of picking them out one by one and chucking them out the window they disappeared eventually lol

try use those mortein bomb... park in your garage, close the garage door, open all the car doors and let go one of them. bomb the garage with your car in it and let the fine mist kill all of them, wipe it after the bomb and vaccum the car.

Only thing is the bomb mist/residue might damage the car paint or interrior if left there. Wash or wipe it down after the bomb. I have use it in the house before, I didnt cause any damage to the stuffs in the house. kills all the flies, fleas, mites, ants, etc...

Mortein bombs are toxic. Better off getting a professional who has access to non toxic pest control products.

Once, I drove to canberra in spring and had lots of bugs on my front bumper. I parked the car at a friend's place and when I came back out, there were huge 1 cm ants all over the bumper helping me clean the dead bugs off! Scary seeing so many of them on the car.

Bomb shouldn't hurt anything in the car. Afterall it is designed to be set off inside a house which has vinyl and leather furniture and kitchens have 2 pack paint.

The plant-based ones are toxic to insects but not to humans. They are used in that raid timer thing that they sell now and you can use that even in the dining room. You can't use Mortein bomb near any food and in fact you are supposed to wash all your dishes and cutlery if they were exposed to mortein bomb.

i put a morten bomb in my car. Cos the ants built a nest in my car
Fogged up the dash abit, but it seem to go away after a couple of weeks.

I had to leave the doors open for a day
