My 2 cents, I just picked up some Hot Shot Ant Killer plus, it's water based, doesn't leave an oily residue, and is unscented. It is supposed to be good for up to 4 months, and after I used it I believe it because I haven't seen any in almost a week where I sprayed it. It killed them on contact pretty much and made the ones it didn't die a miserable painful death. Think I had to have killed about 50,000 of the little boogers today just because I could. They invaded me so I invaded them. LOL

Just as an fyi....Swimming pool DE is usually not the same as the typical DE that you can get in the garden supply store.
The reason I mention this is that if your pet rides in the truck with you, you may not want them licking it up. The same can be said for Borax. So, if you let your dog ride in the truck be sure and read the label on whatever you use. Food grade DE (the kind you can typically buy in the garden store) you won't have a problem.
And it's pronounced
die-uh toe may shous or just call it DE and they'll know what you mean

Ants don't like pepper either. They have to leave chemical signals behind as they travel so that other ants can fallow and they can find their way back. Pepper messes up their ability to read these chemical signals. Had some ants in a flower garden around a rose bush and the pepper made them leave out.

Sounds like the cab of your truck should be a lovely place before long, lol.
My wife also swears by some sort of chemical called Terro. It appears to work really well around the house. I don't mess with it. She likes to kill them little buggers. She's a strange one...

Go to your local garden store and get some Demon WP. I have the same problem down here in Georgia. I use the stuff in the house and the truck and the wifes van. When you spray it there's absolutly no smell. Also kills roaches spiders and other crawling things.
