Unhappy Bugs!!!

Ok i know this thread might not be that important, but i need to know if any one has had this problem...

So my problem is BUGS.... i let my brother borrow my car and when he returned it (3 days later) it had bugs in it and not just any bugs little Cockroaches (YUK) and i hate bugs!!! don't know how to get rid of them,
I think there is only like two or three so not really a big problem but i really dislike them..

if any one could help or just give any advice at all i would really appreciate it.

Terry

Garden insect spray -
surface spray good too
spray it into the wheel wells
any of the plastic coverings

most insects breed in these areas - back of side veiw mirrors etc

Are you sure they aren't bed bugs? Cause if they are use the green rubbing alcohol and spray everything and air out your car big time

i was reading through that and thought you had a problem with your brother using your car to collect millions of bugs to the front of it...

in which case i would've suggested lower speeds

but if your getting bugs inside, id say just use some spray

or ... just to create some contraversy ... JUST SQUASH THEM WITH A SHOE!!! why go the extent of fumigating your car when it might be just 4 random bugs that aren't planning a population explosion?? the way you started out saying it, you had the entire population of roach town running around in there ...
