[Plavin1991]

Okay so as some ppl may know im new here i jus bought myself a 2001 expy and sometimes i would a couple of lil ants in the door jam when i open the door no biggie id jus kill them amd move on... But lastnight i was cleaning out my interior lights cause they had dead bugs in them and as im cleaning there was this ant the size of a lil cocaroach that honestly gave me a heart attack (dont judge me)its up in the over head concol how do i get rid of these basturds!?!?


Just reread all of that and damn my spelling is horrible using my phone sorry lol

ants in headliner whats do i do?

Title says it all... There huge too... I wanna kill them...

You can buy bombs for vehicles, or you could just buy spray from the store and spray in varoius places that you wouldnt have physical contact with.

 

[Plavin1991]

I guess ima have to look up some car bombs.. Haha sounds so wrong!

 

[Captain Morgan]

IMHO it would be better to just kill the hell out of them and then vacuum all the dead ants out before they continue to release acid in your vehicle.

If they have really infested your headliner you would need to remove it to clean dead anyways, so if it were me, I would drop the headliner, spray like hell, wait for a day, then clean clean clean.

Once the dead have been exumed from the vehicle, and the headliner replaced, the X should be detailed inside to remove the bugspray from seats, vinyl, glass etc. Esp if you have children and pets.


If you're apposed to chemical kills, you might be able to compell them to leave by placing dry ice on the top of the rig and covering it with a blanklets, also on the inside causing them to seek warmer ground.

ummm...ant spray to kill'em?

You could also use moth balls, the expy will smell like you're grandmothers closet but hey a big box is a dollar...

Or you could do what my friend did with his Tahoe... He honest to god, called a local pest control office and asked " How much to spray my truck... " After alot of laughing from both me and the guy on the phone, He told him 80 bucks...

They better be chiping in for gas

 

[splintrcel]

That's nasty, that would BUG me to hell lolololololol. Do u ever feel the crawling on you as you drive? I by no means hope this causes you I be paranoid lol.

take out all the panels...headliner...carpet and spray ant killer...

when I had a sugar ant problem in my F350, I used ortho home defense (can be used inside/outside) and it worked very well

I just sprayed around the interior of the vehicle and eventually they all died what I hope was a slow and painful death.

 

[GAINMOB]

i would start with cleaning it out...im not going to ask how they got in there in the 1st place...lol

 

[Plavin1991]

Lol i have no clue how they got in there i think ima try the mothballs trick.. Amd i work at a dealership i think after that ima leave it overnight with the ozone mechine in it kill all bacteria and smell... Then airfreashn the shit outta it... Lol.. I usually have 6 air freasheners at once... Im a smell freak!! So lets see.. Also................

no they have never crawled on me while driving atleast i dont think so... But when i think about them while im driving i get itchy!!! Lol so moth balls and i honestly think that idea with the dry ice not only sounds good but might be a fun little experiment!! Haha thanks guys for all ur input!! Ill let everyone know how it goes.

A friend of mine is a exterminator. A few drops of ant gel will kill them all off. They flock to it and bring it back to the next. Done deal in a day or so. I have used it and it does work. Home Cheapo sells the gell now.


Good luck.

Ants are on this planet for a purpose. Killing them en mass is just wrong. Have a bad day at work, chase the little buggers around with your finger and squash them - one at a time. And if your day has been really bad, make the PacMan "waka waka waka" sound as your targeting them.

Takes a while but is good stress relief...

So far ive just been wiping down all my door jams with amonia for now lil broke until tomorrow then ill get that gel and once theyre gone ima put a couple moth balls around for a couple months until its cold out.

I'd go with whatever option is going to be least stinky. If you get some nasty ant spray in your upholstery your Expy is going to smell like that forever.

if you have cloth interior, pick up a box of arm an hammer carpet dust and vacum it out, I do that to mine once a week, it smells like a tropical rain forest
