Ya know I posted this in General questions because I naively thought I could get some good advice on how to crowbar the dealership into actually roachproofing the damn car, and on whether or not they eat the seats or whatever.
Now that I’ve been marooned in IMHO my hopes are dashed, thanks to a cretinous moderator whose uncle no doubt owns a car dealership in north central New Jersey. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Yes, the above is funny. It’s hilarious.
On the bright side, if you keep flaming the mods, they’ll move it to the Pit. There you’ll get some answers, but none you’ll want to follow.
And people have already told you “Clean out the car, & don’t sweat it.”
That advice is still good.
Buy the car.
And remember–Craftsman. Really.
You are aware that although the bombs will kill the adult roaches, as soon as spring arrives, you’ll be driving along and suddenly feel a tap on the shoulder, and a roach the size of Tommy Lee Jones will ask you to pull over at a 7-11.
Leaping from the car, screaming about a 6’ tall roach, you rush inside the 7-11. The nice man inside thinks you’re high on drugs, calls 911, and the responding officers agree. Doparama spends the rest of his days in a NJ facility for psychiatric patients.
Meanwhile, I’m driving down the Jersey Turnpike, and this SUV passes me. The guy is driving with two legs, while holding a cigar with another leg, and he’s changing the radio station. We exchange knowing grins. 
I’d be a little leery of being in a car after it’s been “bombed” with a powerful insecticide. It’s a small closed space, and bug bombs are designed for spaces 10 to 100 times larger. Given those levels of insecticide, I don’t know that I’d be real confident it had completely disssapated to harmlessness. Especially if you’re sitting inside this space afterwards, for hours at a time with the windows rolled up, or if you’re at an age where you could get pregnant…
I think the best thing to do would be to
1:Give the car a super complete detailing (sounds like it might need it anyway) and remove any food particles trapped in crevices, carpets and under seats. Pull the seats and cushions also wehn doing this.
2: Use some roach baits
3: Open the car completely up a few times on the coldest days of the year
4: Keep the car immaculately clean.
I’d go with sprinkling the interior of the car with a mixture of borax and powdered sugar, and keeping the car doors open on a cold winter’s night.
