Hauling firewood.About a month ago, both my car and truck were suddenly inhabited by roaches. They're not the big roaches that come in off the trees nor are they babies. They're just midsize.
We don't have them in the house. I don't leave food in the vehicles. In fact, I don't treat/store/use the vehicles any different than I have over the last 20 years when I didn't have roaches in them.
It's weird that roaches showed up in both places at the same time. That leads me to believe there's some outside factor that I haven't identified.
Any ideas? And has anybody here ever bug-bombed their vehicle?
That is a good hypothesis, if it weren't for the fact that I have hauled no firewood.Hauling firewood.
Left it parked in/near the forest/ wood lot for a while. Leaf litter build up stuck somewhere for a while.That is a good hypothesis, if it weren't for the fact that I have hauled no firewood.
ISIS roaches, co-ordinated attacks.Ok, but what confuses me is that the damn things showed up in both vehicles at the same time. One was parked, the other in daily use.
That seems really odd to me.
Are you talking the bug or the bud?When we get rental cars back from Hawaii they have roaches in them.
Multiple inspections of the lawn show no problems. I don't think anyone is out to get me.Never heard of that problem but I assume you have transferred absolutely nothing from one vehicle to the other? If not, someone's paying you back or even worse...your yard is infested?
The neighbor next door did some major tree trimming right next to where my vehicles are parked about the time the roaches showed up.Maybe someone in a neighboring house had large tree limbs knocked down in a recent storm? I see roaches coming from two major sources. 1. sewer/manholes, and 2. Trees.
That was what I was going to say.Maybe they knew this cold weather was en rte & were lookin' for a place to winter.
I've heard that you should be careful about but bombing a vehicle, as they are designed for specific square footage, and will essentially get into the fabric and AC system due to the concentration, which then becomes a health hazard to you.About a month ago, both my car and truck were suddenly inhabited by roaches.
