Put several drops on some pieces of cardboard and place the cardboard pieces on your floorboards, on the seat, in the door handle, etc. (wherever the ants are or where they are nearby). Leave it overnight and they should be dead by morning, as well as any friends they may have with them.

I tried this once on my brother's old Bronco, but mine was a homemade remedy made from Borax and sugar. I never saw any dead ants, but they disappeared, so I assume it did the job.
Thanks! I will sure try it.. Just crazy how they are in the damn truck..

We just started having problems with these things the last few weeks.. They are everywhere.. We have all the food put up, etc.

Good Grief!
