My in laws have roaches and aren’t really treating them and I guess at some point from something being transported in my car I seen one in my car. I killed it but I want to be proactive to ensure that my car doesn’t become infested then my own house, can I put one in my car and maybe under the hood too?
Yes, you could use Gentrol Point Source in a car if needed as the product label lists various modes of transportation including but not limited to aircraft, buses, trucks, trailers, rail cars, and marine vessels. Insect growth regulators do not kill insects so we would recommend considering pllacing a few of the Advion Cockroach Bait Arena stations under the seats, consoles, and in the trunk area to help kill any roaches that may be lingering. Thoroughly clean and vaccum inside the vehicle to remove any food, spilled beverages, dirt, etc before treating.
