Default Help with ants

My 944 is infested with ants, but otherwise clean. I've washed the car twice, put ant traps in the car, and even smoked it out twice. The ants are still all over the place and I don't have a clue what to do. Anyone experience this before??

A co-worker was just telling me today that her husband's Mustang had the same thing happen last week. He was putting gas in the car and vibration of the gas was causing clumps of ants to fall on the ground. He took his air gun and had to force them out of the cavity of the quarter panel.

That sounds most unpleasant. Time for a new pet?

I saw a car at a junkyard that was infested with ants. Check under the rear hatch carpet and take the interior side plastic trim off that connects to the carpet and the inner door sill. Peel back the carpet and look for ants in your pants. Theyre making eggies in there.
