Jj5599 1st Gear April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 How to handle? I saw cockroaches before and just now, some insect I can't identify. Will parking under blazing sun helps? Haha, don't want to try pandan leaves. I don't want to gas them out with insecticide, that's last resort. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFastCar Neutral Newbie April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 Told you how many times leow, stop making out in your car and leave dirty residues that attracts insects, for me I will put cockroach bait next to the car to get rid of the cockroaches, if you don't know what insect is the other, then call pestbuster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either the spray worked or the cockroach sneaked out of the car before I sprayed Never see the cockroach again doesnt mean the roach is not inside your car liao. Sometimes you also thought your car very clean with no roaches. But sometimes you might happen to be at the right time and right place when the roach come out for "shopping", and then you saw it! Or maybe also when the roaches come out for "walk walk" and you never see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for ruining my hope that the roach is no longer in the car But I still strongly feel that it is not in the car Or even if it is, it is in some corner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks for ruining my hope that the roach is no longer in the car But I still strongly feel that it is not in the car Or even if it is, it is in some corner I would rather the roach is alive in some corner rather than dead in some corner. Cause if the roach is dead in some corner, it might attract others unknown insect to your car! Just take it that the roach is not in your car if you dont see it. I remembered in my previous car, i have been keeping it very clean and thought there is no roaches in the car. But one night while i stopped at a traffic lights waiting, suddenly saw one unknown creature 'cat walking' infront of the dashboard area. And it was roach and luckily i managed to catch it! From then, i dont believe the car is 'free' from roaches, no matter how clean the car is. Edited April 14, 2012 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, don't want to try pandan leaves. I don't want to gas them out with insecticide, that's last resort. I used to put a baby lizard for pest control. Cheap and good volunteer.
