why need to buy pandan leaves ??... balik kampung season sure can find lots of pandan bush at the kampung. lol

pandan leaf.
then sunbake the car at a roof top carpark for a few days.
the roaches will take a hike to something else.

need to check ur car air cond system and carpet need to take out and clean .. my previous car also have this tiny cockroaches bcos of got little leaking making the carpet little damp .. try ridsect spray whole can , sunbake after few day all came back ..

oh yea.....u meant the original carpeting not the removable ones right?
thats a good place to start.

Best thing is to remove as much trimming from your car to see if there is any hive.

Pandan leaves will help too for long periods of time.

Remove any damp carpeting & dry them.

Once you have done all this, please remember to use precaution to avoid the same thing from happening.

Dont eat in your car.
Dont park near rubbish dumps/dirty drains or any place that looks even remotely dirty.

Dont expect this to be done in a day, allocate few weeks. Even then you might see 1 or 2 running about.

Happy hunting

i bought can of mortein (something similar but waterbased) type, i spray every where, including aircond, dashboard, under dashboard twice in a day (night when i don't drive) . . . .

Next day leave the under sun n pun some pandan or charcoal to remove smell ... it take 2 day n everything gone

Panda leaf works..

cockroaches already lay egg a lot like my myvi especially at spare tyre carpet...just look over there..still cannot kill it until now...hahaha

like me, spray kau kau .... i finish one botal morteir in one night, after that, u see died body only ....

ooo.. nice tips..... i shall go get truck loads of pandan leafs now.. =)

Yes agree.. Pandan leaves really works.. Ask your mom or grandmom, they know the best.

buy fendona from BASF...spray it in ur car & forever no more cockroaches in ur car....

the method above is "stop by a pandan bush, make sure nobody around, pick and run!!"

make sure pak cik din saw u or else kena mercun~~

I'm using Baygon cockorach... Spray half tin at night at all over the car.. Tommorow morning that like 50-70 german cockroach dead body.. But still got.. Spray another half tin also got 20 + dead cokrch... Now no more I think but I think still got ).. Will continue next week... BUT the smell cannot tahannnnnnn... 1 month also not hilang...

are they small cockroaches? 50-70 is ALOT....even 20 man...lol...if they are big...I would rather give up and call pest control...

german roaches carry egg(ootheca) with them and each capsule consists of 36-46 small roaches.
fendona is good in controlling american cockroach but when it comes to german,cockroach. a more comprehensive.treatment may be needed such as vacuuming,chemical spraying and gel baiting.

if u spend more time in the car, it is recommended to carry out gel baiting eventhough the result may not be immediate buf ur health is more important. isnt it?!

german cockroach is the small one.. u always see em in restaurant.... but serius.. that the amount.. even im using vaccum to collect them... after second time spray also got... next week ill will spray one more time... ... only the smell of baygon long lasting

ps; i spent more time in car... coz im travelling alot... sometime .. eat..sleep in car

wow....never seen cockroach in my car before...seen german cockroach in my friend's car though

i use this, proven effective



but the most important thing is, keep your car interior clean
but sometimes cant help you part near those drains, thus the cockroaches may invade your car

thats why, use the trap

i think i got 1 easy solution already get SHIELDTOX OUTDOOR. spray around the carpet , seat ,trunk and dashboard .. the smell is worst then bygone but this OUTDOOR tin can prevent insect from coming back ..
