How do ants get in your car?

Question

where I park my car for work, seems to have a lots of ants, do see some on the outside loose, but today founds a tribe a line just in my door looking for a place to nest got rid of them,but how do they get in on the tire and across the break shoe but the bearing with grease should stop them right?

Answer 1

Place a mix of cinnamon and sugar by where you park your car. The ants will be attracted to the sugar and they will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.  This way your don't have to know where they are coming from.

Answer 2

I reckon you have a sweet ride, that draws the ants. Get that chinese chalk and draw lines everywhere. Otherwise spray the car with Fendona or something similar.

Answer 3

Ants are pretty smart critters! they can cross some of the toughest territory going! I'd use 'ant kill' to get rid of them, spray your tires too!

Answer 4

Well for starters if you have exposed grease on the wheel/brake area of you car that's an issue that needs to be looked at and fixed by someone as it's an indication of the rubber boot that contains the grease that keeps misc. important parts of the car lubricated like the bearings is or haf failed in it's job.

and about the ants?? they will travel over many different surfaces to find a place to call home; I would assume that unless your car underneath is completely coated in grease their finding away around it.
