Most people associate pest problems with their homes, but bugs and cockroaches like to hang out where people are. If they manage to get inside and locate everything they require to survive, your car turns into their safe haven.
Cockroaches and other insects are opportunists that will use every opening they find to get into your car. There are, however, some frequent entry points by which these pests will invade your car. Let’s look at them in more detail:
Open windows are, by far, the most common way for roaches, especially flying cockroaches to make their way inside. This is especially true if you’ve left your car parked in one spot for a really long time. If that’s the case, always make sure to roll up your windows!
Cockroaches are well-known for being able to stay alive and hitch rides. They are drawn to food and can get into your home by hiding in things like luggage and suitcases, used furniture or appliances, moving boxes, laundry, and even grocery bags.
The key to eliminating roaches from your car is locating their hiding places. To start off, consider where they can find food in your car and which areas are ‘safe’ for them to seek shelter.
Bug infestations of any kind can be a massive nuisance, but cockroaches are one of the worst due to the health consequences you can face from their presence in your car.
