roach infestation in car

Roach infestation UGH! once upon a time, I felt snakish and decided to eat the strawberry cheesecake that I bought 15 minutes earlier.

With my taste buds turned up to its highest level, I opened the container and grab my fork and proceeded to dig in. I saw something black on my cheesecake.
I said to myself, they messed up my order, I didn’t ask for raisins on my cheesecake. I grabbed my fork to remove the sprinkle of raisins only to find out the raisins moved while trying to grab them.

It’s not raisins, it’s 8 baby roaches on my damn cheesecake, WHAT THE HELL MAN! I Slammed the container lid closed and threw it out immediately.

I always keep my cars clean, and my kids hardly eat in the car. When my kids do eat in the car after their done I grab my vacuum from the trunk and vacuum the crumbs.

This car that had the roaches in it was a car that I bought recently. I cleaned it thoroughly, but unfortunately, I didn’t get them all.

all of my vehicles are so clean that you wouldn’t believe that I have 2 kids under the age of 10.

No, I didn’t make this story up. This actually happened to me. With this roaches in car guide, I’ll share with you how to get rid of roaches in your car forever.

What kills cockroaches instantly?

Roach sprays kill roaches instantly. you don’t want to spray roach spray all over your vehicle because it is highly poisonous. And let’s not talk about the smell, you don not want to constantly breathe in those fumes it’s not good for your respiratory system.

How long until roach bait works?

The faster they eat the roach bait, the faster they die. To take aggressive action place sticky traps and roach bait all over your vehicle.

I would say a realistic time to expect to not see any more roaches is about 30 days. When your traps become empty of dead roaches, then they’re gone for good.

How to get rid of roaches naturally without chemicals

Mix a little boric acid with powdered sugar. The sugar’s purpose is to lure the roaches to the trap, and the boric acid kills them. Don’t worry the boric acid isn’t toxic to people or pets. The boric acid will irritate the skin a little so it is best to keep it out of reach of children.

Sprinkle it under and behind the seats on a sticky rat trap. You can also place some of the mixtures into cracks along the edges where it is not visible to children and pets.

BAY LEAF REPELLENT METHOD

Don’t want to get your vehicle all smelled with chemicals out of fear of being poisoned? By Placing crushed bay leaves in places in your car, like under the seats or and other areas, this method will keep roaches at bay.

While this method won’t get rid of them, it just repels them from a certain area. You might just drive them to other areas of the house, like the trunk of the car.

FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS METHOD

Placing fabric softener sheets in key areas of your vehicle will attract roaches and trap them. The fabric softener sheets texture makes it difficult for them to escape which gives you more time to catch them in the fabric softener and throw it out.

THE BEER METHOD

Saturate a cloth or napkin with beer and attach it to a stick mice trap. Roaches will be attracted to the smell, feed on the beer causing them to become drunk and unable to move from the stick trap.

CUCUMBER TRAP METHOD

You can place cucumber peels in an open tin can or plastic. The smell of cucumbers mixed with tin is said to be so strong that it’s enough to repel a cockroach kill it.

THE CATNIP METHOD

Make a catnip spray solution. Put a few scoops of catnip into boiling water. allow the water to cool and then pour the mixture into a spray bottle.  spray the solution in areas out of reach of pets and children. The smell of the catnip solution is supposed to repel roaches from the car.
