    If you're sure its your companies fault then ask them to pay for an exterminator.All the yrs I drove the many trks I've had and the many bad places I've parked I have never had any roaches in the trk.You need to clean your trk every once in a while and spray all the cracks corners crevices with raid every day.There is a unscented raid.

    How do those coil things work? Do you have to light them on fire?

    I only asked because I'm pretty sure there are the 2 legged variety that will suck up just about anything.

    That's exactly the problem. If a truck sits at a terminal too long, roaches might move in. You may not even see one until the engine gets really hot from a parked regen. Then they swarm you. This happened to a coworker of mine who had to borrow a loaner truck that was sitting for a long time. They used a couple of roach bombs and it helped to where he could drive it, but he would stay in a hotel to sleep. You probably need a professional exterminator.

    They glow like regular charcoal,because they're made of charcoal, except they're infused with insecticide. There's no flame though. I wouldn't sleep in the truck while it's burning, but I do sleep at home with one burning in the same room. They're not large enough to use all the oxygen in the room and the insecticide smell is negligible.
