Timex1441 1st Gear June 8, 2011 Share June 8, 2011 (edited) Anyone has experience in dealing with cockroaches in your car? My car is often parked behind a coffeeshop near my flat, and I think somehow the cockroaches found a way to make my car their home. Temporary or permanent home, i dun know. Saw them twice already but couldn't kill them while i was driving. By the time i stop the car, they've disappeared. Is the cockroach bait (see pic) good for car usage?

Kwanheng 1st Gear June 8, 2011 Share June 8, 2011 I think any brand of insect bail will work, no need to be a car insect bait. Those standard bait work out great for me. Those I brought comes with a small housing so I just need to cut a hole and suck it some where and it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked for me at least. Had placed a few of them in car, forgotten abt it until one fine day I saw several roach babies dead surrounding the bait.

SimonTan 2nd Gear June 8, 2011 Share June 8, 2011 These bait works wonderfully. It works for me all the time. My carpark is near rubbish bin, once a while will get these small species cockroaches in my car. Just put one in cabin, and one in boot. Two days later u will see the dead cockroaches near the bait! Pandanus leaves are bull sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic June 8, 2011 Share June 8, 2011 pandan leaves is the bestest (for cars at least). I used the roach trap at home, but end up catching the poor lizard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
