So apparently ant problems in cars are not new:

How many ants does it take to a wheel out of balance? I mean it probably depends on if it is a African or European ant, but anyways...

This morning I went to unplug my car and there was a stream of ants going up the charging cable. I unplugged and drove to work and check a few times. It seems they are coming out of some crevices in the frunk and may have started a nest!?
*panic* can you tent a car?! I will spray some ant killer into the places of the frunk where they come out of and hope they realize there is no food or anything in this car.

Anybody got any advice?

I found a recipe for ant killer that works everytime It’s made from honey and peanut butter and boric acid. Mix 4T PB and 6T honeyand 3/4 t of boric acid. This will make much more than you’ll need.
Place a glob where the ants will find it and they will swarm all over it and take it back to the nest and have a feast and they’ll all die

The specie is clearly identified as the “wheel ant.” ?

The honey and peanut butter will attract squirrels like crazy. While they are licking the glob off your car they will probably chew on the plastic pieces causing more expensive damage.

A glob about the size of a quarter is not going to attract squirrels or chipmunks or raccoons or cow or dinosaurs.

Put some of these in the frunk and on the hood or near anywhere you see them coming out

^^This..

Absolutely the best thing for getting rid of ants where they shouldn't be. I'll just add to tape it in place close to where the ant walk.

how do you know about the dinosaurs? I mean I believe the rest of it but I worry about dinosaurs on a regular basis.

Yeah, the dinosaurs are totally pissed about the way we keep burning their dead ancestors!
