This morning I put on my gear and headed out to my bike and noticed ants all over it..so...I rinsed it off with a water hose and noticed they're are a lot off them..so.. I went the car wash to wash it good and more keep coming out..went home and removed the tank and there was a nest...eggs and the whole family...has any one have had this problem before?. my first in the 8 yrs that I have been riding.And is it safe to use some ant spray?.

Never had anything like that. I do have spiders and stuff crawling on my bike once in a while but that's because it sits outside under a cover.

My bike sit outside and it's been one day since I have ridden it..and it did rain good down here in corpus..

That's wierd as hell. Ants usaually (Im assuming) nest somewhere liveable. Not a gas tank that's metal gets hot and shakes like a mo fo when riding. I need pics man.

But if you ain't BSing, OP, just pop the tank up and leave it outside for a day...they'll all die or move on. Problem solved.

Damn, I hope they were not fire ants.

 

[archang3l378]

If you rode long enough, I'm sure they would've died from the heat. How long was your bike stored for??

Here are some pictures before I lifted the tank up..Sorry for the shi**y cell phone pictures.when i did lift the tank up there where eggs on the bolts to the air filter and in the cushion of my seats.

had that happen to my car years ago. ants kept getting into my car through the a/c vents for weeks :cuss. i changed parking spots, looked at the ground for nests, fogged the car etc. couldn't find anything! then i went up under the right front wheel well one day to tuck in a part of the inner fender that was hanging loose & there i found the little bastards!

Not an ants nest but another critter took up residence below someones airbox, and chewed up a bunch of wires.

Pee on em...problem solved

LOL Pee on a Yamaha?! :scared

No way man...mebbe if it was a Suzuky...

jesus i cant believe it only took a day for them to make a nest. I get spiders and stuff in my garage if it sits for a few days, but never do i get permanent residents.

Spray 'em. Just give the spray a week or so to dry and evaporate off since most of those sprays are flammable. The area by your air box isn't really a place with fire, but just to be safe, yanno?

That'd freak me out. I'd go on a murdering spree.

I see spiders on my car all the time. never ants.

Speakin' of which...electrical contact cleaner will kill 'em fast as chit! And it dries with no flammable residue. :fact
