Ants *everywhere* in my car, including the engine. How can I get rid of them?

[n1psey]

Thanks to recent flooding, thousands of ants (at least) have relocated a large colony to my car. I think maybe this colony won't collapse on its own-- many are carrying what appear to be eggs and I'm seeing more than just workers there-- or if the colony is headed for collapse, I don't think I can wait it out. They're all over the exterior and engine, and they're traversing much of the interior as well-- I'd have many of them on me if I were to attempt to drive.

My shop-vac isn't adequate to the task and I've already added ant bait traps which so far haven't been successful. Any advice would be appreciated!

About 5 years ago we moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The question immediately arose as to how to get around in this city, because it is very huge. My parents did not give me their car, because they do not trust me. After my parents had gone on vacation, I started using renting a car in las vegas under 25 so they did not know and did not worry about me. Now every time they go away, I drive a luxury car.

Lived in Alabama for much of 20 years, and ants are always an issue. Get a bag of grits. They take them back to the nest, and eating them kills the colony.
