ants on a bike!?

[crazyboi]

i just found out that i have ants underseat of my bike... how do i get ride of them?? i ride a spec III, when i take out the seat it can be seen crawling from the frame to the tail light and then near the battery area.. how to get rid of them??

[Guest johjoh]

could it be the place u park in? last time got one ******* sabo my bike. he smear chocolate on my suspension to attract ants..

 

best is to wash ur bike thoroughly.

[CSV]

had them before, parked my car near a nest and they crawled through the entire car, inside and out.

 

they left after a few days. yours shouldn't be any different.

 

if not, then maybe washing your bike.

Me too got ants, but not as much... Maybe u park under their ant's nest/colony...

 

Ants love warms areas...

[antartica]

have that problem too at my open car park area

occasionally have those big red ants crawling all over

*touch wood* have yet to discover any around the internals

 

but i'd been thinking of putting a couple of moth balls under the seat - NOT IN THE TANK!!!

wonder if any one's tried this and if it helps?

wash ur bike.... totally, check if got any sweet stuff under ur bike seat.. should b gone after a good wash...

Mine has ants too. Washing won't help since they are tucked away somewhere. I always see them in the morning. No idea where they get food to survive on either.

try ant poison, my old bike the ants were living inside my seat =w=

The bike is probably a shelter for them from Rain as well as the Sun.

 

I had this problem some time ago... but they left after a while..

 

Since then, one good wash and avoid parking near grassy patch, trees.

 

Usually no harm.....

Wash your bike and park at a different place.

The ants cant live on your bike as food.

cos i park my bike under a tree, recently keep having ants on my bike. they move fast, especially when u get off ur bike and its still warm. already 3 occasions they actually try and move their nest into my underseat storage. i can even see their white eggs there. dam disgusting. doesn't happen when it doesnt rain though.

[rezz_shaz]

shelltox ur whole bike...wash after a few hours...and park at another location.

[swiftee]

bring your bike somewhere and wash with hose and soap? if still not effective then spray insecticide

I used to see a rat residing in my bike while I was in NS. When to start my bike and saw that thing jumped out. Other than the rat, cats and spiders are all I see. Haven seen ants though haha!

[mrSparky]

Cable tie a few cockroach, ant and mosquito baits to the chassis of your motorcycle. Everywhere you go you'll be doing the residents a big favour by destroying all the nasty pests!

It happened to me also. Was walking towards my bike to go home after work. I saw the lizard on my seat. When I wanted to scare it away, it crawled under the seat.

 

I was sweating like hell. Cos my fear of house lizards is like 12 out of 10.

 

I shook my bike like hell, but it is still there. Till today. I think. Hope it crawled out already. That beast has to eat and drink right? Hahaha..
