Weird ant problem...
So ever since the last good rainstorm we had I've have a bunch of ants inside the cab of my truck.
At first they were all over the dash, now it isn't as bad but they are coming out of the steering column. I kill about 5-10 ants every time I get in the truck.
Can I bug bomb the inside of the cab without ruining anything? How else can I get rid of these damn things?

Both of my new to me Fords had the same problem. They looked like suger ants, I put those ant bait things in them both after I cleaned them up inside real good and they just dissapeared after a while

I figure I'll bomb it this weekend and maybe put some ant baits in there.
On top of that, had a headlight burn out today, turns out there's an inch of water inside the headlight.
Gave me an excuse to buy new clear headlights and corner lights. haha

Yes, be very careful with the bomb, read and understand the directions on how and where to use them. I had a brother quite a few years ago now, that used one for a pet flea problem in his home. His problem was he already had a weakened system due to MS. He stayed out of the house for over 24 hrs after setting it off, but still his condition was very noticeably worsened from the effects of that bomb.

I HATE ANTS! I've got ants living somewhere in my truck. They show themselves on occasion, I kill all that I see.
I would not use a bomb because I have a young son (3 years) & I take him to preschool everyday.
I'm gonna try some bait & see if that works.
