Today when I arrived to work my phone fell in between the seats(Damn that sucks!)When getting ready to get out of my car I notice a small roach crawling, I killed it and rinsed the floor mat in the parking lot.

I had around 40mins to start my shift so I went looking for the place they might have entered, popped the trunk and found out the spare tire compartment uses a plastic cap so one can clean and drain the area with water,the cap had come off and I placed it back in.

if it helps my car is a 2003 ford taurus that was given to me by a family member that moved to the states a year ago and It was sitting in a garage for around 2months

any good solutions to attract the possible remaining roaches in the car?

I don't eat in the car,I dont have kids messing with it:D,the car interior is clean.

edit: I'm a little buzzed right now so I don't know if I'm in the right section :)

Thanks

Yes, right section.

If they "bug" you, you can put a bug bomb in overnight, with your rear seat opened to allow the fumes to reach the trunk. Air it well the next day.

Are you sure you didn't SMOKE the roach? ;)
 
I will try to bomb the car then, I don't have work tomorrow,so I'm free to smoke roaches all day :)
 
You certainly wouldn't want to smoke anything after it's been bombed! :haha
 
Be thankful it was only a roach. A few years ago, when my wife was taking groceries from the trunk of her car she didn't notice that a package of meat had fallen out of a bag and had slid to the back of the trunk. It was summer and to make a long story short she ended up with a car load of maggots. Had to have it professionally cleaned. Those guys really earned a very sizable tip.
 
Why do I have this feeling that the next used vehicle I consider buying will get a thorough sniff test of the trunk from me? :D
