Bad Things Happen To Good People - Episode of the Insidious Ants

A colony of ants have colonised my car. They've set up home in the secret places, hidden from the eye. How do I know this?

I know this because they appear whenever you don't want them to. The ants pilfered my egg tarts that Stephen magnanimously gave to my family. The Ants invaded Captain Corelli's Mandolin which I left there for 2 hours. Ants distressed my nervous system by appearing in circular colonies in between the doors of my car.

I now accelerate abruptly because I can feel Ant crawling across my thigh. I brake in reflex because Ant is wiggling between my toes.

They have been reduced to a frightful singular noun - capitalised.


Ant.

From now onwards, when you say "Ant", please ensure that it is synonymous with goose pimples and a distraught wail.

Dear God, I know I killed a number of ants in my lifetime, probably in the hundreds. I confess I annihilated them not because they were a threat, but out of sheer repulsion at their (harmless) plural existence. That was how my FRIM video came into being.

Can anyone tell me how to exterminate them from my car? *Groan* Bad things always happen to good people.

P.S.: I'm the "good people", not Ant.

Start hunting for the colonies and massacre them with insecticide..
Then give your car a good wash (flush em out)..

The above 2 steps are what I did to get rid of the ANT infestation in my car..
I heard Pandan Leaves keep them away too..

avatarstormbringer: The problem is..the colonies are hidden somewhere in the murky depths of my car. I'll probably try the ant medicine. And yes, my filthy car needs a bath too.
