Excellent idea.
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. The activities died down today. We'll see in couple days if they are still around. The problem with fumigator thing is that it smells. I have kid, so chemical isn't gonna be my first choice. I am not sure about pesticide worry that paint might be damaged. Beside, they are hiding inside not outside partying around all the time, so spray doesn't really reach them.

I found this though How to Get Rid of Ants in the Car | eHow.com

Anyway, for those who tried to help, thanks. For those who just like to make fun of someone's problem. May you have thousand problems came out of no where and land on your axx.

A bit harsh no? Just wish em ants or something.. lol

I friend of mine had a similar problem, his fix was drive i though a carwash where they spray rain-x and hot wax and all that stuff he washed it twice and they were almost all dead after.
I saw you wrote that you washed the car but have you tried taking it to an actual carwash. (not the best for your paint but worth a try no?)

Get in the car and get on the interstate. Get it up in speed, there's no way ants can just sit on your car. when you get done, spray the entire thing down with a hose and wash the car. Only thing I can think of is if someone literally sprayed juices on your car from some type of fruit that you're unaware of.
+1 for interstate. 70mph wind > ants. For the interior, why not just get a few ant traps and leave them under your seats for a few days? Also, vacuum the interior and check around for anything that might have spilled. Perhaps your kid accidentally spilled something without you knowing? I'd take a good look underneath the car to make sure there isn't a rag covered in honey(etc.) stashed away that's attracting the ants. Could be someone's idea of a prank, or vengeance if you've pissed anyone off lately. Hope that helps and you get rid of this unusual problem.

You are right. Ok, I will meet in the middle. How about just "ants land on axx"?
LOL
