How do you deal with Hornets/Wasp living in Car?

ARG! I absolutely hate "stingers". I don't want to talk much about it but I do have trauma... So I can't tolerate these things at all.

But something has decided to start building a hive or nest or whatever in our car. I do not know what exactly. But those combs things are there from a Wasp or Hornet on the car.

How do you suggest getting rid of the Comb thingy and what could I treat our car with to prevent junk from liking it?

We've also been having aunt problems and they've been decided to have wars on our car. We also have been having some sort of rodents getting into our car and filling it with junk. I don't know how to word this but all this junk isn't getting into our car where we ride and store stuff but these things are getting into the engine, the doors, under the car, over the tires. It's frustrating. Whatever is getting into the engine has chewed through wires before. So any other suggestions for this junk would be nice, too.

We have Allergies, Asthma, and the Air Conditioner doesn't work on the Car ( we don't know what's wrong with the Air Conditioner because we always get bad mechanics that pretend like they don't understand these "new computers" in cars so they'd need a few thousand dollars to figure out the computer). Since it's summer I figure the car is getting to 120 degrees, too. So I just want you to know so that's a factor in any suggestions. We can't spray the car with water because the water facet/spout outside is broken so that is sprays all over the place and barely any goes into the hose. It's also too far from the car anyways.. so between the distance and barely any water trickling at the end that's not helpful.

Update:

Sorry! ANT problems, not AUNT problems. This all triggered my mom to ramble about Aunts while I was trying to type this question.

Update 2:

How would you recommend and where do you recommend I put Moth Balls in the car? Should I use something to stick them to the car in places where they won't make contact with certain parts in the engine and to keep them from falling out of other parts of the car?

If I just toss moth balls in the front they could catch fire. If I toss them in doors and under the car then they will instantly fall on the ground.

    A half-dozen moth balls in each of several littlle cloth "bags" tied around where the problem is usually discourages varmints that chew wires and such. Hornets and wasps etc. die off quiickly with a squiirt of Raid.

    Ant powder from Lowes or Ace Hardwaree works well on ants. The HomeDepot stuff doesn't seem too discourage ants too much.

    Lets take this one step at a time, problem (1) if the bees are building on the outside of the car you can just treat the place where there building with a little gas. this will stop them from building there and find another place and the gas smell will wear off soon. problem (2) for the pests building nests in your car, that sounds like mice. this can be stopped with placing a few mothballs in the doors and motor compartment of the car, this will also stop the ants. problem (3) it would sound like your clutches are out on your A/C the only way you can fix this is to replace the AC compressor on your car.
