ants

this past sunday i was preparing to go to the autox and was cleaning out the car because a couple days before i noticed a few ants inside my car. i figured that it was nothing and was probably from the sitting in the garage. So on sunday morning i pull the car into the sun to get a better look. nothing. after scouring the surface of the car and the interior i notice an ant on the door. "they must be hiding in there" 15 minute later and the door panel on the ground i look inside to find... nothing. great... after this the car is starting to warmup in the sun and i see another ant this time on the roof and watched it as it disappeared into the rubber weatherstriping. so i pop the t-top and pry back the rubber to find... a trail of ants WTF!?! i follow it toward the middle of the roof. wAH! a whole mess of ants. i ran in the house to get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and started to douse to bastards. [notice i didn't light it and my hand on fire ;P] so after using up the bottle i start removing things to get a better idea of where the ants are. weather stripping, little wing-thingy, and metal weather shields gone. i kill all ants i find. "lather rinse repeat" for the passener side. found that the majority where in that middle area. bleh 3 hours after the start of the crusade started i was done. tired and sweaty i start to put everything back together after a water break. i then put the car on the sun to bake and because of previous success i use a couple of CO2 tanks to "fog" the interior. i figured that the high temps and the CO2 will kill any of the stragglers.

i also took a pic of this riddulous event.
"why of all places do ants want to make a home in my car" *shakes head*
notice the "wintergreen" flavored alochol :P
