Some trucks in South Florida become infested with Burmese Pythons.The driver won't know it until he feels a lumpy mattress and the lumps start moving.

 

Roaches don't just crawl into someone's truck or car from the ground.

They were introduced into the truck by hiding in items brought into the truck, or there were roach egg casings in the items and they hatched and now you have a infestation.

Roaches like to hide in damp, dark moist places, so you need to remove the refrigerator from the truck and thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator with Formula 409 Cleaner, take and remove everything out of the interior, (including the lower side boxes), vacuum the entire interior of the truck, while carefully looking for roach egg casings.

The roaches may have laid eggs inside the refrigerator, look for roach feces and when you find it, you'll know that's where they've been hiding and living.

Once everything is removed and vacuumed, open up all cabinets in the truck and set off some bug bombs.

Throwaway the mattress and shake out and wash all your clothes.

Once roaches infest an area, it is very difficult to rid them, but it can be done.

 

Roaches also like to live in cardboard . The little holes in the weave that make the cardboard. Just assume the eggs are in there and get rid of any boxes.

 

Down here in Florida they will get into anything that isn't moving unless you consistently put down a poison barrier. Every time i come home i hit the lower half of the tires with home defender spray along with the sleeper shocks and the door frame.

 

might be quicker and cheaper rather than to spend all that money on bug spray, to park your truck in the pool??

 

I could park in the barn but that would take a month to clean out enough to fit the truck and trailer in so i just hit it with the barrier spray and park in the pasture. The cows don't mind.

 

Too bad it's not winter right now. You could just ask for a load to Minnesota or Wisconsin. Get a motel for the night. -20 weather takes care of everything in a hurry.

 

I had a truck that was infested with Roaches, we bought it used as a package deal, and we had to park it because it was so bad. Bombed it, they survived so I sent the truck over to a shop that said they would clean it, they gutted then entire truck, seats to the sleeper and they steamed cleaned the sleeper and put it back together. They said behind the cabinets is where these things were living and when they pulled the cabinet, a bunch of them came out and ran all over the place, including the guy who were cleaning the truck. They also found food stuck behind the cabinet and to this day we can't figure out how it got there but that was one of their food sources.

 

If they're anything like the fogger bug bomb you'll have to stay out of the trk for like 12 hrs.I was going to use a bug bomb in the basement but I have a bird and I didn't want the stuff to find its way upstairs and kill the bird and my other animals so I used raid and haven't seen any bugs since then.
