But i doubt the roaches in the car climbin on the steerin wheel is u or one of ur buddies bah??? -
you must be always eating somethings in your car tats why.
use pandan leaf or there is a kinda gel in the market (forget the brand name liao). Park your car under the sun for a prolonged period during the day. The heat will force them away. -
When someone ask you why got so many roaches, just tell them ur a pure nature luver...
ne way Pandan leaves r d best choice. -
pandan leaves works great and it's dirt CHEAP, 50 cents u get alot le.....
Additional pandan leaves can be used to make green bean soup!!!!! -
Hey I had that same problem with my car.. tried pandan leaves but they didn't work and I really do not want to aerosol a vehicle I use for carrying marketing.Originally posted by sv3n:wah kaoz!!!!how to get rid of them?
Try and locate the source if you can.. I think mine comes from dirty bags and boxes when I go marketing and I'm not sure but I have this silly theory the cockroaches get cold at night..so they crawl up from drains in Multi Storey Parking lots and enter your car in order to find warmth lol silly me..
Anyway.. I saw 1 larger and 2 really tiny ones..so I thought they might be starting a family.
What I would recommend is going to NTUC, buy this product called "Combat Gold". There's another "Combat" but that's for ants I think. I think it's about $5-$6.
They come in a box of 6 disks, effective for 3 months. You just place them inside your car and wait for a few days.. I killed 7 in the first few days and since then, no appearances of cockroaches.
This is how I placed the 6 disks.
1: Center, near windshield, top of dash.
2: CD Changer under driver seat
3: Front passenger seat, stick to side wall housing transmission.
4: Trunk, side wall
5: Divider holding the slideouts of the tarpaulin used to cover the trunk contents. (It's an SUV)
6: I placed this one under the carpet of the left rear passenger area because I didn't know where else I should put them.
I've not tried spraying of insecticide..but I have a hyper nose and I didn't want to subject myself to airbone nerve agents.
Anyway just in case you wanted to know..the cockroaches eat the stuff inside the disk then crawl away to die. I found all the dead ones in the trunk area..so maybe it'll be more effective if you locate where their 'base' is. Hehe hope I am not being too lo soh. -
another good effective way is to consistently clean and wipe the interior of your car with diluted [DETTOL] antiseptic.......i diluted a little for washing the car such that it even penetrate those hard to reach lining and rubber seals....good for eliminating minute bugs........
hope u guys will find this helpful...and useful....

I've tried to used Pandan leave. Bought a pack @ NTUC and left it under the driver's seat. Leave the plastic bag on, so long there's holes.
Haven't been able to buy a new pack.
Threw away the old one and I saw a cockroach last week.
Why do you think a lot of taxis have pandan leaves in the car.
Must observe what these 'experts' do. -
Looks like ur car needs a major clean upOriginally posted by sv3n:wah kaoz!!!!how to get rid of them? -
pandan leave do work but oni as long as the smell last...(2-3days under hot sun)...but will not get rid of those pre-hatched eggs.
there are cockroaches batt... don't buy those branded which does not work as well as those u get from market place... (those $1.00 shops, Sin Shiong etc)...
Stop eating in the car...
I think u need to combine all the above methods to get rid once & for all....
