Cockroaches in car

[Leech]

Hi, can someone advise the best way to rid of cockroaches in car?

 

Dunno why I seem to be plagued with this problem...

Hey dude, how come got cockroaches in your car? Man that's really bad. I suggest you take the car mats and all those stuffs out first? Then you have to really go and search for those pests. Poor dude.

hi there

 

go to supermarket and get those roach killer cartridge / bait that comes in a box of 4 or 6. Place them in all the dark corners on your car , both interiorly and in the boot. Can last about 2-3 months.

 

very effective. There are many brands around eg baygon etc

 

i used on my ride previously. you can see the dead cockroaches on the floor mat after a few days. The bait inside will kill them . After a while no more cockroaches!

[Leech]

Is this something that will attract them to eat and then poison them?

 

I guess there must be a big cockroach mama in the car somewhere. I see only small roaches so far...

 

Why must this happen to me...?? My car is new (2004 ES5) and I maintain it well... Just for once my baby vomited in it...

Oh ya, I think GI@NT has the cockroach baits. Quite effective, showing all those dead roaches and lizards..

spend a weekend, do house cleaning. cardboards r cellulose and starch can b food for them esp when damp. also can use as a breeding ground for baby roaches to grow.

 

after tat.. try parking in open carpark for a while. and avoid underground carpark with dampness. cos they may be seeking refuge in ur car when it rains. even entire ant community r known to crawl into cars.

 

also, try to spray the bottom part of ur tyre's rubber with the worst smelling insecticide. tat will keep them at bay, as well as as pissed-off cats n dogs.

yes it will attract the cockroaches to eat them ... the cockroaches instinct to seek out the dark corners for food will lead them to their doom! ha ha

You can bake your car in the sun (Best 12noon) for minimum 1.5 Hours...Sure to rid all roaches rodents and smells

Doesn't work this way. If they can survive nuclear annihilation, I think UV rays will just tickle them.
