facing a problem no car enthusiast should ever face

[Swifterific]

no need fogging, just buy me 1 can of aerosol I spray for u...less than rm10 je....:proud:

haiya this one i can do myself la hahaha. i read somewhere they say dont spray in the aircond vents because then if the roaches die in there your aircond will smell like dead roaches for a very long time. setting fire to the car seems so much more interesting now hmm

I said I like dismantling things.

Anyway Swift interior has very little bolts and nuts, all using clips and very very easy to remove.

Will bring kancil over...this reminds me to clear all my work files in the boot...
I thought....I thought I saw a little cockroach just ran pass when I open the rear boot to get my stuffs...I did..I know I did....

Time to check if there is a nest there...so far no roaches in the interior...was hoping I didnt see any and it will run out once it cant find food...

I park opposite the house I think I know why got some roaches, sometimes if my placed parked by other cars i have to park where some ppl dumb their dry leaves garbage there...hmmm....

Or I shouldnt park near the dustbin outside the house...park opposite under the tree still safer then.

I had a dead rat in my mom's corolla way back then. That was really bad smelling. And the problem for me with fogging the car like that is I have kids. Don't think I'd be interested in making everything inside the car toxic!

Come come I dismantle for you. Start with the seats. I'll leave your dash board alone, but once everything else is out it's easy to look under the dash. Very very easy je.

Spraying in air con vent, actually scare the chemical stays in the vent and is not good when using the air con. Scare also the chemical mix with the wet damp internal then turn bad smell also...

cockroaches walk on the earth long before homo sapiens are born, they are omnipotent. I my opinion, if you want to get rid of any trace of that ugly little bugs in your car, strip clean your car completely, and keep it as clean as you possibly can from any traces of food. But I doubt you can hold them back for long as they walk in the deepest and darkest valley of your car's chassis and will find a way into your cabin somehow. Buying a new car? heck, almost every car has it. The only way is to make peace with them.

Fogging the car with insecticide spray cans works (for weeks / months).
- spray into air con vents
- under seats, hidden areas etc
- close doors overnight
- live with insecticide smell for a few days

I'm not sure if they are affected by heat, perhaps a visit to the paint shop leaving the car in the oven booth overnight could drive them away

i did this when i saw the small roaches. they went away for months. then suddenly a dead one appeared yesterday.

Bro swift,
The vent is the one that control aor circulation.
Either internal circulation or allowing outside air in.
The knob or switch is the one labelled with an arrow getting into the car or u shape arrow.
most of the time cable operated vent have this problem.if u used it frequently,it wont shut properly.i diy shut on my blm and my sis kenari.
Most of the time the air intake is located under the plastic trim under the windscreen wiper.
If u want outside air after shutting the vent,just wind down the window then.I will diy for my wife viva soon and if i dont forget i will post step in this forum.
