Last couple mornings I've come out to the garage and found a train of ants streaming across the Leaf. These are not fire ants, they are smaller like pharaoh ants. In the past I've seen ants getting into the pool timer, A/C condenser and other electrical devices but they've never been much of an issue. Of course none of those gadgets are $30-40k.
If you google ants and electrical equipment you get plenty of hits.

I'm worried they might be getting into sensitive components. Unlike a gas car is doesn't get hot under the hood to make it uncomfortable for them. Also we've had a run of cloudy/rainy days so no occasion to park the car in the sun and cook the little buggers out.
For now I've just sprayed a little Raid here and there to knock them down, which I'm sure is eco-unfriendly.
Has anyone else seen this?
