You eat and drink in ur car? I think once insect nest themselves in ur car....it is impossible to get rid of them.

some open car park have ants on the ground, some car park have spider. There were once my cabin full with big black ants from the parking lot. Like other member said, park it under hot sun, sweep them away as many as you can. Ban all candy, food and drinks for a week.

I also ask around and one guy told me if your car have spider sure no ants, when spider running out of ants to eat then it will go away. Want to try remove the ants the natural way FOC?  :bleh:

The easiest way to remove ants from your car is to place a COMBAT mini ant bait in your car and the ants will eat the bait and carry it back to their nest and the entire colony will be wiped out.

The bait is round and measures only 4 cm in diameter.

I bought a pack of 6 for $4.

if you don't want to kill animals and have the time to spare, you can try this -

put some food at the door sill and wait
stand-by to brush them away when they come for the food
it may take some time to clear all of them
this way, you won't have dead ants in their nest and you will not feel bad about killing these animals
Be safe. Go with the flo.

Yes I also ban my passengers from eating and drinking in my car.

Not sure any car grooming package include a 100% interior clean that can eradicate this problem?

Jo,

Take it easy.

Car is to be used, to be our slaves.

Already paid so much for it, with fixed expenses like HDB parking charges and road tax, why not maximise its usage?

If dirty, can always clean it.  :smile:

To get rid of cockroaches, you can place pandan leaves inside your car.

Xiao Qiang may get into your car from the parking lot or MSCP regardless your car have food or not. I ever saw one small xiao qiang on the window, quickly wind down and sweep it away.

some people will keep eating where ever they go like never eat enough during meal time. Now with the long custom jam, you cant stop other people to buy food and drink for a small picnic on causeway or tuas bridge. bo pian, have to clean up again.
