I have been parking my truck outside for about two months and have recently discovered that ants have gotten into the cab. This morning, there were quite a few in the doorjambs, down the center console and in the passenger front seat. We had a pretty heavy rain yesterday. After spending the better part of my running time this morning cleaning them out, I`d like to ask around and see if anyone has any ideas for keeping them out.

1) There`s no food or drink in the interior.
2) It was parked on concrete
3) Only air freshener was Febreeze - used last weekend


I can`t think of anything else contributing to this other than the rain. Is there anything you can use to keep them from trying to get inside the vehicle?

Thanks!

Well there is that air freshener called Raid!. :D Seriously though, I know you said it isn`t there but ants go to place because they have found a food source or they are on there way to a food source. Home and food is all they do. A spilled soda at a previous time a dropped french fry, who knows. I would start with a carpet cleaning and go from their.
