And anyway of preventing such recurrences? Recently squashed 2 cockcroaches running past my front dash. Pretty shitty experience. Pls share. Cheers Have a friend who goes the au naturel way and uses pandan leaves. She claims that the leaves also double-up as a natural air-freshner, a practice agreed upon by several cabbies I've met. Cockroaches, apparently, don't take too well to the odour of pandan leaves. Trouble is, so do some people..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Share June 15, 2002 (edited) I totally agree that the use of pandan leaves is popular among many car owners... Apart from the eau de pandane, it'll probably gives you a craving for pandan cakes when you are hungry. To prevent recurrences, (1) make sure don't open your doors too long when you are doing your regular washing n waxing... (2) keep the aircon vent 'closed' at all times so that the eggs or the young ones don't flourish in there... (3) start checking for holes and crevices??!!
