I would meet the roaches on their terms and approach them peacefully with your suggestions on how to resolve this conflict. Perhaps sexual favors or other monetary exchanges to appease their leader. Best of luck op.

I'm genuinely sorry to read about your problem, and I hope you get it resolved soon, but I just can't understand how a car can be infested with roaches.

I've had a spider somehow makes its way into my car and start crawling on the back of my neck even though I never leave my sunroof in the tilt position overnight, etc. I've also had two other really tiny spiders make webs that were just a bit bigger than a quarter on each side of my gauge cluster. So, I'm not surprised that a roach or two made it inside of the op's car and made it into a mobile love shack lol.

Wouldn't that imply there is a food source in the car?

If not, they should die off relatively soon....unless your dropping jelly rolls down between the seats. In that case, prepare for a roach population explosion

The previous owner must have been a big time slob.

This. What roaches (and most other bugs) really want is water. Get rid of any moisture sources and sop up any puddles that form on your door sills, in your engine bay, windshield cowl, etc. That and a lot of traps, bombs, and bug spray should sort you out.

A possible source, but gross to think about: do you go food shopping in the G? (A&P, Shoprite, etc.), and put the bags in the trunk/interior for the ride home. Or worse, leave the full bags in the car for several hours/overnight?
(My neighbor found roaches in the bottom of the bag that she got at the grocery store.)
Hope that you can get rid of them.

I dont have any food in the car at all and I dont get groceries with this car either.Unless there is a leak somewhere I dont know about there shouldnt be any moisture in the car either. I set off a bug bomb in the car and one in the trunk Monday. Also left traps around the car. Going to bomb it again Friday and then yank the interior and clean it out hardcore. Shampoo carpets and everything.

Hopefully it was the previous owner who was a slob and once I kill these suckers i'll never see them again. If it happens again i think i'll have to consider selling the car

car spiders are a way of life.. I had a small one make a home inside the driver side mirror on my integra. every day I would drive to work and destroy his web & every day for 2 years he would come out at night and rebuild it... Then run inside te mirror housing as soon as I'd get in the car the next morning.
