Ant infestation in the wife’s RAV4

Anybody ever have an ant infestation in their car? I was checking the oil yesterday, topping off fluids when I noticed several ants under the hood. The little sugar type,, didn’t think much of it, then started seeing more up around the cowl.

Looked throughout the interior, didn’t see anything so thought the wife might have parked on a nest, riled some up and they came up a tire. No biggie.

This morning wife texts me from work says, ants all over in the cab!

The Rav gets driven almost daily, I’ve never encountered anything like this. Ever had a similar situation? I thought bait traps but, where and how to keep them in place when the car is moving…. Don’t want topical sprays obviously in the cab or up under the cowl where fresh air filters are..

Any suggestions? Wife is skeeved out, at work, wouldn’t surprise me if she makes me meet her this afternoon to swap cars, etc,,
