have they made a nest in your car or are they just going walk about? A glass cup with a splash of coke or soemthing sweet seems to work for me. i have a drink, put the cup down, go outside to do some thing and when i come back its filled with ants that have been crawling around previously.

Just make sure you don't use diet coke :blush:

Not sure whether it's just an urbant myth or not, but aparrently the artifical sweetener aspartame kills ants.

The ants were like a conga line on the charger cable.............. I have a solution.

Ants do not like walking on rubber, i.e. they do not walk on rubber. They will not climb up your tyres, but they found the only other way into your car............ along the charger lead.

So: Wrap some rubber around the lead to block their path, or possibly sit the charger (and lead) on a rubber mat on the ground. No more ants!

Note..... must be rubber, not plastic and rubber mix, not nylon, not silicon, just rubber.

Good luck with it.

I'm guessing the ants are there because there must be a dead spider or some other insect (or even a small dead bird - I had one stuck in my radiator after a long trip :S ). The ants are just having a feast. Find the dead insect (or animal) and the ants will go away.

they're back.

unbelievable.

there is ant dust and spray everywhere now.

I've wrapped the power lead in an old bike inner tube (rubber) hope that deters them.

lol.. are they actually coming up from the ground still into your car or have they setup base in there somewhere...

who knows? it's mayhem in there...

now that I've put spray on the charger lead, the ones trying to get off the barge can't do so haha

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
