I've had ants infested in a car several times. I did use a bug bomb. And it worked. I had leather interior. There was no damage to the interior or to any of the car components. You will need to superclean (wipe down) the car after.

et rid of the food and water. These cockroaches were probably first drawn to your living space because of the abundance of food they found there. Even trace amounts can attract cockroaches, and their food sources are many and diverse. Cockroaches can even survive on paper (bad news for messy college students). You must make your living space absolutely fastidious in order to solve your cockroach problem.

Close up garbage cans tightly at all times, and take out the trash frequently. If possible, keep your garbage can outside until the problem subsides.

Vacuum, mop and otherwise remove any residue and crumbs from your living space.

Cockroaches could survive a nuclear holocaust, so it stands to reason that anything toxic to them would be toxic to us and to our pets. Sprays only eliminate the problem temporarily anyway, and are toxic to life in general. Take the precautionary statements on the containers seriously if you use pesticides. Use all poisons and pesticides more as possible.
