Default Ants??

Howdy y'all,

I have recently started seeing little black bugs that look like ants inside my truck. They come in and out of the cracks, creases, etc on the dash, and around my shifter ****.

I'm not sure what to do. I bought ant killer stuff and dropped a bunch of it on card board and placed them all over. I'm not sure if this is going to work or not. Anybody have any suggestions?

Damned crazy ants, those effers get in every where, had them in our service truck just as long as it took me to mash every damn one with my thumb at red lights. Got at least 50 of those suckers in one day.

Haven't seen any since, they must have a short life span or the southern heat cooked em all.

Update... seems like terro ant killer worked, and thank you lord for Texas being extra warm for last week or so. I usually put up my sun visor but I haven't all week to help let it cook the ants up!

I did do a deep cleaning, vacuumed for 15-20 minutes just in the front dash/seats. Soaked my dash with interior cleaner and cleaned the heck out of it.
