Go to the zoo. Borrow their anteater for a few hours. Place anteater in car with top down. Ants gone.

or

Windex works wonders; plus you can clean all your glass while you're at it.

I found a japanese beetle living in my shorts today. I felt something moving around and I caught it. It somehow had gotten between the two layers in my shorts (mesh basketball shorts) and I had to cut open the shorts to get him out. Just thought you guys would like to know.

oh, as for the ants, you can use one of those fumigator cans to kill off what ants there are in the car and then vaccum. But make sure you remove whatever food was in there that attracted them in the first place, AND wash the car so th original ant trails are washed off; otherwise they will be back.

Ants aren't so bad. I had spiders in my car, every morning there would be a web on the steering wheel. Got me so mad I decided to park the car outside in the sun for 2 days straight Don't see any more web lately
