Dust it wherever you've seen them, particularly nooks and crannies in the car. You can also put some across the floor and any seats you don't use frequently.

But will they take it back to their colony? I haven't actually seen the colony, I just know it's hidden away somewhere in the car. I park it out in the street in the hopes of baking them out of the cabin, but as soon as the air conditioner cools down the car, they come back, so their hiding somewhere where I can't see.

They don't pick it up and bring it to their colony in the matter that they would food, but it gets caught in their exoskeleton and could spread to other members within the colony. It desiccates them because it's essentially just silica, a highly absorbent product. It can also get caught in joints and hinder movement.
