I kep my car pretty tidy, it's usually very clean. But since it started raining I have been seeing ants in my car. Finding some on my radio, arm, legs, steering wheels. Just one or 2 ants, no big deal. Then I opened the passesnger door and bam! on the rail i see a bunch of ants covering the rail. any idea of how to get rid of these varmints??

Ive got the same thing. Car was sitting for awhile, and now theres an infestation. If I was you, I would life up every peice pf carpet and go to the metal. There will be little nests in the rug matting stuff.....

Kill them and take care of it. Good luck and let me know what you do....

haha take it to a paint shop and see if they have an oven to bake the paint in...that'd be funny to try and cook them...

or you can just put the little ant things in them...

All I can think of would be ant traps, if not maybe call a bug exterminator for ideas.

well if there in the body like that, i would spray some carb or brake cleaner down there, it will kill them instantly and the vapors will kill the remanders. and yes you can bomb them, a while ago some guy on here bombed his car because he had spiders in it, but if there not in the car, it wont help.
