This is Disgusting

[PurpSalad]

This is painfully disgusting even to admit, but i have very bad news. I bought the car recently, so recent in fact that i dont even have a picture up yet, and tonight while workion on the headlights i noticed something crawlin around....went to my center console where i had left my peanuts i bought at the gasstation, and the shit was covered with 7 or 8 roaches. baby roaches, but roaches. Anyone know if u can like, fumigate a car? haha i dont even wanna get in the car...

I would just go to the Home Harware store Im sure they have a section for insects and rodents..


I think there is something like a box that you can leave on the floor and attracts them to crawl in and then they get stuck and die..

 

[PurpSalad]

yea thats what my friend was saying might work. but idk...its disturbing i dont wanna be in that car till that shits all gone haha.

 

[Karnag3_0kc]

Creepy. Lol

Pull the carpet and clean it really good. If you have roaches in the car, they've probably poo'd on it.

Yes you can have a car fumigated. My friend in college had it because she had small white spiders all in it. It worked well (not sure on cost), but made the interior smell kind of funny for a while.

I'm with Wes and would just gut the interior and clean it really well. It doesn't take much to remove the seats, carpet, and some of the plastic pieces.

 

[PurpSalad]

damnit.i honestly just feel like letting professionals deal with that shit. ill deal with everything and get a dirty as possible fixing anything UNDER THE HOOD but stuff like this i wouldnt mind wasting a little bit of car to simply have peace of mind that a roah wont crawl in my ear while im driving

and yea i guess i could do that but as ### as it sounds i cant stand roaches. sure snakes are cool. sure ill kill a spyder.but roaches...nah haha

take out your seats, then pull the carpet, then clean the hell out of it. and hope theres no other eggs in your car.

 

[concept4g63]

Just raid the shit out of the car

 

[97-gst]

im afraid youve got to burn it now...nah man you can get a car bombed to get rid of the bugs or just clean it real good

 

[PurpSalad]

yea i just went out there toput the headlight piece back on so my headlights pop up, and thats just....horrible in there. the whole drive home they were nowhere to be seen or...at least i didnt feel them.ah disgusting haha. but theres definately way too many

 

[OneBad2L]

Fume it pull out your seats and carpet in the parking lot across town. And them fume it again. Them things are hercules.

i hate to say it but time to plan a trip to grandma's house for the weekend... go to Home Depot and get you a few cans of bug bomb... put the car in the middle of the garage with the doors and the hatch open, set a can off in the garage and then set some off in the rest of the house... but you had better do it now while there are only a few of them...

AMEN. I wouldn't have even parked it in the garage. I hate bugs.

Bug bombs probably won't kill the eggs. I know they don't kill flea eggs cause my dog got fleas real bad this summer.

To get rid of them we had to bomb the house once a week for 3 weeks and wash the dog and blankets all the time. It sucked.

I figure one bug bomb every 4 days or so until you use 3 or 4 of them should be fine. Just throw them in there at night and let it air out the next day.

This ruined my breakfast. The thought of roaches makes me want to puke. I've never experienced any in my life, but if they were in my car, it'd never be the same.

And to think you drove the car with all those in there with you. Kill those things before they invade your garage and home.

 

[rock1t]

if roaches can survive a nuclear blast, i doubt that a bug bomb will kill em.

maybe you should make them some little bleachers, and make them little seat belts.

Your crazy, but I like it!

 

[dsm-onster]

Bug bombs do work. Had the same problem. I've picked up cars INFESTEd with those little devils. Bomb at least the garage with TWO bombs with the car in it open. Let it set for over a 2 hours. It works long after the mist has cleared. But it takes time for it to work.

 

[nek]

I was gonna say keep your car away from your house but it looks like its to late.

 

[PurpSalad]

well i bought some bombs at lowes, the guy said if i let it sit for a while itll definately kill absolutely everything in there. Its meant to kill a whole apartment, and im setting it off in a car haha. it'll be sitting in there AFTER im done with my clutch. which brings me to my nextpoint, please helppp
