Cockroaches in car

[Jive]

Search whole car cant find anything. But once in a while i see small cockroaches crawling... ladies dun scream...

 

So how to kill them before they grow to bigger size and fly around ? Ah i know.. buy those poison from ntuc and put in car. yes i have.

 

How these creatures get into my car and manage to breed?

[Dwoon]

I don't think they breed in the car.... at least not for me.

 

For me, ever since I stopped parking near the refuse point of my block.... the small roach issues has stopped.

[Wmatt76]

no eating inside the car. this is the best way to stop them from breeding

[Observer]

Dun eat anything inside the car. Worse still, crumps dropping all around...

[Reng]

Go market and buy Pandan leaves and put inside.

[Ccssgm]

Put the Sticky Trap here......

[Thrillman]

Heard that it works but how it works??? It drives them away only right don think it will kill them. They just went hiding and may come back later????

for those who say they don't have 小强 in the car, don't be so sure, coz on two separate occasions when my relative's car was parked at my place (diff car, diff relative) overnight, and when i was doing some detailing on my own ride, i chanced upon them running about in their cars..

 

Best part is they still deny of their existence when i told them about it claiming they don't eat inside, don't park near rubbish, diligently clean the interioir areas etc etc .....

 

 

They don't show up in the day or when there's activity. .. best bet is to put those sticky traps to make sure u have none.

Yes, Pandan leaves will only drives them away Just 2 weeks ago saw 2 inside my car but can't manage to catch them. so put some pandan leaves inside & up till now never see them again.

very dangerous if got roach inside the car cos will distract the driver

[Kungming]

I got those sticky trap with bait from aunty lucy. Believe it a not, I used to leave them alone until one early early morning when I drove my car, I see one pair on my passenger seat happily humping away.....

 

To have one or 2 hermits is ok, to see them humping and having offspring is another matter altogether...

 

Anyway, with the trap, I managed to trap like 10+ of those vermins and counting. The surprising part is that they dun look family to me. Got different pattern ones.

yah man, saw a baby roach in my car a couple months back, suspected that they came after i sent my car in fro servicing, prob the service center there got roaches. so i bought the cockroach killing thinghy from NTUC. didn't see for a while. than just last week when i open my boot, one medium size cockroach ran out n hid inside my bumper. damn, if it's the same one i saw, it managed to survive and grew bigger. maybe must really put the pandan leaves in the boot. don't wanna put inside the car cos donn't want my car to smell like pandan leave.

Cockroaches consider small matter nia. I even saw lizard and spider

Luckily when washing the car, they went out for sun bath.

Spider yes. 1 time but spiders are fast and difficult to catch. Roaches easier coz they blind.

ya, I am lucky they came out while I am preparing to wash my car. Quickly close the door and you know la
