roach in daughter's car ?

9 years ago

Hello to all,

My 18 yr old daughter had "roach droppings" in her car cup
holders and on a few on the floor mats. This took place about 2-3 weeks ago.
After a thorough cleaning/vacuuming, droppings the next day in the cup holder
again [was in the process of buying baits].

Had the entire car vacuumed
again, esp btw the console and seats. She knows the drill not to even think
about bringing any food/drink into the car. Also, never leaves any windows open.
We installed 4 bait traps under seats and in other hidden places. Then installed
4 of the sticky traps that has a maple bait. Put one right in cup
holders.

Over the next week, no signs of anything: no droppings, nothing
in any of the sticky bait traps.

Then this Saturday morning, she saw
droppings in the cup holder again. Talk about freaking-out again. So we had the
car vacuumed and cleaned again...reapplied the traps/baits after taking them out
7-10 days after initial install. This morning, I did an inspection and no
visible droppings and nothing in any of the traps. Also, I had her park the car
in the sun all day Sunday w windows rolled-up. It was 96-98 outside, must have
been 140-150 inside. Any suggestions ?

Thanks, tstex
