My car is attracting ants. WHY???

Question

I have a lime green beetle and here lately i've been noticing ants in it. Yesterday, there were so many in it that i wanted to take it and trade it in. Any idea why or how to get them out? Can i de-fog a car? Could the color play a factor in why they keep getting in it.

My husbands car sits close to mine and there aren't any in his. It's silver. Do i need a silver car? lol.

Answer 1

You have probably got something sweet in the car that attracts them. Remove it and the problem will disappear.

Answer 2

first of all where are they going to......as the first answer...you may have something sweet hidden....find and remove...

however, I have seen ants especially black ants get attracted to certain types of lubes and grease.....if the ants are in the underbody area of the car, you may have blown a bearing or a u joint may be blown....and the ants are leading there....thus take it to a shop...and get it fixed.

one way or another you need to find where trotting to!

good luck!
