    Default Ants ants and more ants

    Ok so every time I look at my car I find several ants crawling on it. (Outside) nothing inside, no food or trash anywhere inside. I've sat bait stations around on the car, I've tried the drops of bait you put on the cardboard! Idk what else to do. I can't find any large groups anywhere it's just always 5-6 here 5-6 there. Wtf can I do?

    Got any leaking antifreeze or ATF?

    I have a bucket of a mix of the two in the garage and for some reason, its an ant magnet... cept, they then die

    Hmm idk, maybe you're on to something. I still need to get the car in the air and get under and look around. Low rider problems, in combination with fat boy problems!

    It's weird, I'll see 5-6 on the hood and none on any other panel, I'll pop the hood and nothing, no trail, not even a single ant. So I'll dispose of them with a quick smash. Later same day I'll see 5-6 more, this time maybe on the rear around the spoiler etc.

    Somebody else was just telling me the same thing about the white car deal, my Yukon is white too and ant free lol who knows. Maybe they have a home nearby and just like hanging out on the fbody?!! Can't say I blame them! Lol
    Maybe I'll try parking somewhere else for a few days and see what happens.
