Cockroaches In the Car: Yes, They’re A Problem and Here’s Why
Have you ever noticed a little cockroach in your car and thought how that cockroach ended up there? It turns out cockroaches really like warm, dark, and dry places, and guess what the inside of most cars is like. Perhaps not appetizing for us but what a party for these little guys!
So, why do cockroaches fancy cars so much?
Cockroaches are adaptable and can live through extreme environments from hot to cold. One of their special abilities is that they do well in wet spaces like the bottom of sinks or closets, but they also appear to enjoy cars! Cars provide many hiding places and food crumbs, making them an almost ideal environment especially since they’re warm and somewhat humid inside.
What happens if cockroaches take up residence in your car?
Cockroaches in your car can be more than an icky nuisance. They can carry diseases like salmonella and E. coli, create a stink, and may be harmful to your car’s interior and electronics. Think of how uncomfortable and unhealthy that can be for both driver and passengers not to mention exposure to bacteria and allergens.
How can you keep these uninvited guests out?
Cockroaches are very common, but you can take precautions to avoid having them crawl into your car. They like moist areas, so they’re typically attracted to areas like the engine compartment or the space beneath the dashboard. Deter them by storing parts of your car should stay tidy and free from clutter. A clean car gives cockroaches fewer places they hide. If you ever see them, you can vacuum them up, use roach spray made for vehicles, or lay traps that attract and kill them.
Is There a Reliable way to solve this problem?
Absolutely! Cockroaches are hardy little critters, but they’re not invincible. But you can control a roach problem in your car with an appropriate insecticide, making sure your vacuum has the proper attachments to target the car interior or by using traps that will bring them in and kill them. These steps will help you keep your car enjoyable and pest-free.
