Ants on Car: Park Smart, Don't Spray Paint

New car: Ants crawling outside and inside. Wash doesn't help. Wants safe chemical for paint and interior.

Outside Source

• Parking under tree/shrub with ants → bridge to car.
• Branch touching car = highway.
• Aphids/scales on tree → honeydew → ants farm it → car gets sticky.

Solutions

Outside:

• Park elsewhere. Trim touching branches.
• Spray perimeter barrier (Raid, etc.) on ground around tires—ants won't cross. Don't spray paint.

Inside:

• Any household spray (Ortho Home Defense) kills foragers.
• Clean food crumbs, spills.
• Ant bait in trunk/door pocket if persistent.

Fix parking spot = permanent fix.
