    So I have seen sugar ants on the front of my tacoma for the last 4 weeks. I have ZERO clue where they are coming from and there are never enough to tell where they are coming from. I bug bombed the inside although there weren’t any there in the first place. I moved it from underneath the tree where I parked it but they still seem to be there. What do I do?????

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    Borax. I had this problem on my celica years ago. I had to get some borax and put it in their path. They will take back to the hive and die out.

    You don't buy a truck for its fucking fenders!
    2.5" lift w/35's
    Get a poison sprayer and spray a thick line of bug poison around your truck like one of those demon circle things from horror movies. That'll show those ants. If their colony is in the truck somewhere, they'll have to become canibals to survive. If their colony is on the ground they'll die trying to go home. Its the perfect crime

    I’ll try this, because It’s been covered in mud, washed like 5 times, took it to get washed and detailed as well as the engine. And then bug bombed haha. I now have little traps so maybe that will do something?
