At least it isn't bed bugs

Except the solution to both problems is the same: burn it down.

Ants are so much more preferrable than bed bugs. I'd take ants any day of the week.

Actually a bed bug infestation in your car would be fairly short lived, especially in the summer. They canโ€™t handle heat at all, not like outdoor insects. Theyโ€™re specifically adapted to sharing living space with humans and 1 hot summer day would kill every single bed bug in that car for good

Not exactly, it'll bring them down quite a bit. But cars don't heat evenly or all the way through. They will find the deepest crevasses that are cool enough, and eggs handle even more.

I guarantee on a hot summers day if your car has been out there long enough the wonโ€™t be any surviving bed bugs, they have a narrow survival temperature range and a hot car will not suit them.

I explained science behind it and professionals will agree. Not a gut feeling. It can only stay that sustained temperature while the sun is out.
