Bud

Never had this problem. Maybe you can go to an aircon guy, get them to open up all the aircon vents . clean them and install them back again.

Good luck

most probably there's a nest inside and they are breeding more larva's. i've experienced this but luckily the nest was under my door step. so i removed them all and the ants eventually went away.

if u say its inside the air-cond vent, then i think u need aircond guy to fix it. better do it fast else they'll breed and multiply.

Hi This is my first post in here....

I do the Car Detailing Center in Thailand. This problem is so simple to solve. Do not put the car in the hot area or smoked them.

I suggest you have time to observe your car by put some SUGAR on the big plate then waiting they will come to eat it. Now you know how to take them off the car..

Dont pray them.... please


Thanks

I face this before bro. I understand your pain. Last time my kancil kena. Suddenly I on air-con, all the ants kena blow out n stick on my face.. Damn man..

No use spraying man. I tried and makes things worst as all the ants move to other place. Kenot find the bloody nest.

Solve it is by putting under hot sun. Find out where are they. For me, they are at somewhere around the air-con. I leave my car under hot sun then ok d.

All the best bro. Jangan termakan then ants k.. Wahaha..
