Ah yes, the rare but deadly North American Red Rust Mite. They eat metal, of course. Well, at least the water in the carpets will!
Not sure about the ant problem, but if you can't find any rust damage in the floor pans (pull up carpets and look under the car also) or in the wheel wells, or several of the other places water can get in, you probably have a convert. that was left open for a bit during a shower, or just has a leak. Pull the carpets up and dry as well as you can by whatever means you can think of. Water under there does nasty damage to floor pans because it doesn't have anywhere to go and the padding acts like a sponge.
Do a search for "floorpans" or "rust" and you'll see what and where to check in searching for possible leaks.
Best o' luck,
