[Redz]

why this little small cockroaches end up in ur car...even if it's a new car?? juz found 1 juz now after owning the car for almost 3mths! wonder what could be the cause? parking place or food or something else??

If you're parked at most old open air HDB car parks that are near to trees and shrubs, there are bound to be times when there will little friends visiting your car. They usually enter from the wheel arc area. Check for openings.

[Redz]

but all car sure have opening mah... anyways they can be closed?

[Chromas]

The most likely manner they got into your car cabin would be via the foot pedal area. Check those.

 

There are also some opening beneath the front seats.

[Redz]

any chance of goin in thru aircon vent?

[Ahliew]

[Chromas]

Aircon vent should be a closed system in the cabin only.

Put some pandang leaves in your car and this type of roaches will be gone in no time.

usually it's food that attracts these roaches. I've had them a few times already.

 

You pick them up anywhere, especially at places where there are many of them..

 

Perhaps it food that dopped off from your kids.

 

Usually clearing your car from all sources of food would starve them to death. Just be aware that if the mother lays eggs, then be prepared to have little babies around. At least 2 generations worth of roaches may be there...

Remember.. any source of food can keep them alive.. that includes your skin, and nose droppings...

pandan leaves dried up easily and left crumples of leaves on the carpet! i have some cockroaches food, used by some pest control, which is really good. put one time..next morning sure see a few dead cockroaches. but 1 worry though... my baby will juzt eat them!!! that's why din put them for time being

[Redz]

but i oreadi banned consumin food in the car... still they exist! i juz have a feeling it has more to do on the places i parked. maybe the one close to sewer pipes that could be the cause?

[Ahliew]

that would be disastrous

maybe you can put them under the car seats?

[Ace_t]

and pray tell, why would you like to park near sewer pipes ?

[Redz]

Yep agree ... its the food

 

I am guilty of that and I am guilty of allowing my kids to eat in the car. And you can guess ... my car is infested with them roaches.

 

But I got a way to nuke them lah

 

ok ok ... I am guilty of digging my nose too
