Total something else question here but I'm struggling for help.  Last week visited some resort, parked the car near a bush and in the morning the car was totally overwhelmed with ants. With the help of some cleaners thought we'd brushed them all off. However 4 days on and the problem is worse than ever. Anyone experienced this? Any suggestions? I've cleaned the car inside and out. There's no food around.

Had similar Fromm Kancnaburi. Sprayed inside of car with killer and left overnight. Then leave in sunlight for a couple of days. They all went. Good luck.

Did you recently get the car cleaned? Sometimes the polish they use has carnauba wax in it that can attract some types of ants.
