Slamming the door behind us, already running late, my daughter opened the car door only to see a set of earphones trailing from the floor board all the way down to the concrete. Marching up the white cord with conviction was a trail of ants. It took only a few seconds for me to see that we had a problem. These ants had invaded our car, claiming it as their own, and we were meant to wave our white flag in surrender. Remembering I had some where to be about twenty minutes ago I began to wipe them off of the floor and out of our car with my hand. This was a battle I would need to face later on tonight. This is the story (well the gist of it anyways, ha!) that my friend shared with me as she arrived to my house having just discovered her new car pool buddies.
Everyone expects to deal with insect issues in their homes, but we often forget our vehicle. For many of us, our second home on wheels, ha! Sadly, I’ve been there myself and there is NOTHING nastier than having ants take over your van. But what my friend didn’t know about, was the Hot Shot® Insecticides Ant & Roach killer I had just received. We grabbed that can, sprayed around the openings of all the doors, tires, and then circled the concrete around the car to secure the area. We meant business with this stuff. We then left the windows cracked to help vent out the chemicals, but I will tell you that I was thoroughly impressed with the LACK of smell from the spray. They get rid of the pest problem AND there’s no bad smell, BONUS!
I know in my last post, we shared a little about how Hot Shot® Insecticides takes pride in providing homeowners with solutions that help to keep their homes free of pests. Well I’m just saying, we don’t want to let them feel at home in our cars either! And right now this great friendly, family-oriented brand is hosting a sweepstakes on Facebook!

We had ants get into our car twice. Thankfully, we discovered them quickly before they got out of control.
