yeah ...me also doing this practise every chance i have to get the sun to kill anything inside my car, and instead, i found my dog sleeping soundly in the passenger seat everytime i do so

Muahahahahaha, hey he can help you to guard the car what, you should thank him instead.

It's a hot day, let him ler.

Yes,the best thing to do is put pandan leaves.They are extremely useful
Prevent roaches,eliminates smell from your car too.

Last time during my "waja" days.I spilled a whole cup of coffee onto the seat.Since it a fabric material and the coffee already absorb to the seat i could not do anything.The smell was terrible after the coffee had dried.Someone told me put pandan leaves.After 3 days the smell was gone like magic!

eh, to eliminate smell, i think using charcoal is better. it absorbs any kind of smell.

i tried put pandan leaves in to my car to prevent cockroaches for 2 weeks.
but so far, i still see baby cockroaches running around
and i don't like the smell of the pandan also.. everyone will ask me about the pandan cake smell..

siu keung :-) sorry cant help it

Haha. yeah. I've had this problems too. I tried putting pandan leaves occasionally, but the result is random. Sometimes they will appear and sometimes not. I wonder if putting the roach house trap "size like a box" would work? hmmz..

Where to put the pandan leaves? At the aircond vent in your car?

true true it will surely damage ur car... i think if ur car is hybrid... maybe more worst

for smell
u guys cna put charcoal.
charcoal will absorb the smell wan.

anyone tried the rat trap thingy? lol.. go try lo
really will help wan.

buy those cockroach poison. ever seen those china made ant poison in small little silver packets. the contents are yellowish. theres a roach version of tht poison

my dad's wira is ermm....passenger/part utility vehicle. so roach infestation is common. a silver packet of those...and they'll start disappearing

Well over the weekend I did the spray ridsect overnight thing. Next morning saw 7 dead baby roaches around various parts of car. Problem still not really solved yet tho cos while driving I still managed to see another 2 live ones running around (one on dashboard, one on the upholstery =\).

my car also alot ccb

We need SOLUTION! More advices pls..

The sticky Roach trap that sold in supermarket are the best.... no smell

charcoal really work for smell...my car no smell de...but for roaches i dono..last time got see 1 or 2 ..now no see liao..,hopefully no more ...>,< saya manyak takut insect..got phobia..@.@... i think if use pandan/charcoal
does this equation work?

no smell+no eat in car=no roach ?

i think best is u use those cockroach pellet. put in ur car.. the cockroach eat.. go back to nest n die, the cockroach eat the dead cockroach they die also.

quite useful.

else u use the sticky mouse trap method. very effective as well.

but then there'll be a bunch of dead roaches stuck under your dashboard or hard to reach areas

then, put frog in ur car..
no cockroach carcass,no smell.. (frog not smelly right?)

true..

but lol wat to do.. kill them liau, later vacuum lo.

i was having the same problem about few months ago after helping my friend to move some boxes. the xiu keong is very small size as u mentioned. I had have tried many ways, here are some of my advise.

1. open windows even for days doesnt work, and u will bring more insect into your car.

2. park under hot sun doesnt work, because xiu keong can still survive even under extremely high temperature. i parked my car under hot sun for 10 days, but they are still there with more kids.

3. sheldtox and resect doesnt work. i took out all the car seat and carpet, armrest, everything, and spray, then left my car there for 3 days. this will kill most of the xiu keong, but u cannt kill the eggs. they will come back in few days.

4. i found most of them are hiding under the car seat, especially back seat. if ur car is wira, it is very easy to take the seat out and check.

5. finally, i found the way to eliminate them. go to tesco or giant to buy the insect trap and also the xiu keong poison. the insect trap is the small paper house with super glue. u can place some food in the middle to trap the xiu keong u can put 2-3 of this in your car. the xiu keong poison is the best. i bought the resect brand one. it is black color plastic cover with a small pieces poison inside. u need 3 of this in your car. i got about 10-20 xiu keung every night. after a week, they are gone. but i still leave the insect poison in my car until now just in case.
