ants!!!!!!!!!!!!

[morrises]

Our poor PT has become inundated with ANTS.. big huge black ants. I think they were there when we bought it, but we just didn't notice them, though they were just random, but every single time we get in our PT I get like 5 or 6 big huge ants on me!! Any clue on how to get them out? I don't know where they could be hiding. I've never heard of a car becoming infected with bugs before.. lol stupid ants..

I've heard of cars and trailers parking on an ant hill and the ants swarmed up around the offending tire and into every hole they could find. You might have to fumigate the car like they do with houses, setting off a spray bomb inside the car with the windows and doors closed. Leaving it closed for 24 hours or so until they are all gone.

Boy, you guys are sure coming up with some weird problems! Ants?!?

(Although there WAS that time when we were stationed in Hawaii --- Dad was Navy --- and we found half a dozen little lizards in the car..... Mom was the first to find one, when it crawled up her skirt while she was driving...... exciting times!)

Them little see-through lizards??!??!!?!??!?!

We had those in Guam, freakin' everywhere!

[prettybluewoody]

Yeah, Mom was drivin' kinda wild there for a mile or two! Amazing to watch.....

As for the ants: besides fumigating the car, maybe lay some antkiller on your driveway, too? Figuring that maybe you're parking right on top of the anthill?

Well we are in a parking lot... so I doubt that we are on top of an ant hill hehe

But the family we bought Bessy from lived out further and had like woods near them, so I'm guessing they were from there??



Gosh.. I hate ants, but I think I'd pee myself if a lizard climbed up my skirt.

Even in a parking lot, if you're assigned spaces and always/almost always use the same one: look and see if there are cracks in the asphalt, those little suckers can get through the TINIEST little holes! If you see itty-bitty sand 'volcanoes', that's them.

And it took a couple years before Mom finally could see the humor in the lizard-up-her-skirt! Soon as she pulled into the driveway, she had all us kids doing a search-and-destroy mission on any lizard we could find in the car.....

[ucantcme]

haha, lol!

[morrises]

Yeah I really think they are in the car.. like living in the car somehow. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. hahahahahahaha

I think you might be best off bug bombing it.. That is sure to kill em all..
