Vehicle Pest Control
Protecting Your Ride from Unwanted Passengers
Your vehicle isn’t just a mode of transportation; it’s an investment and a space you spend significant time in. Unfortunately, it can also become a haven for pests like ants, roaches, rodents, and even bed bugs. These unwanted passengers can create unsanitary conditions, cause damage, and pose health risks.

Common Vehicle Pests and Their Entry Points
Ants
Ants, particularly small species, are highly attracted to any food debris left inside a vehicle, from crumbs to spilled drinks. They can gain entry through seemingly insignificant openings, such as open windows, door seals that are no longer tight, and the tiny crevices around wiring and trim. Once inside, they can establish colonies in hidden areas, creating a persistent nuisance and potentially contaminating food brought into the vehicle.
Roaches
Roaches thrive in the dark, warm, and humid environments often found within vehicles. They seek refuge in areas like under seats, within the dashboard, and inside ventilation systems, where they can remain undisturbed. These pests are not only unsightly but also pose a health risk, as they can carry and transmit bacteria and allergens. Their presence can also create unpleasant odors within the vehicle.
Rodents
Rodents, such as mice and rats, are drawn to the warmth and shelter provided by vehicle engine compartments and interiors. They can enter through wheel wells, damaged seals, and any openings in the firewall. Once inside, they can cause significant damage by gnawing on wiring, insulation, and upholstery, potentially leading to electrical malfunctions or fire hazards. They also leave behind droppings and urine, creating unsanitary conditions.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are adept hitchhikers, often transported into vehicles on infested luggage, clothing, or secondhand furniture. They prefer to hide in the seams of seats, within carpeting, and in other fabric-covered areas. Their bites can cause itchy welts and skin irritation, and their presence can lead to significant stress and anxiety. Due to their small size and ability to hide in tight spaces, they can be difficult to detect and eliminate.
Fleas/Ticks
Fleas and ticks are most often introduced into vehicles by pets. They can infest carpeting, upholstery, and pet bedding, creating a persistent problem for both animals and humans. Flea bites cause itching and irritation, while ticks can transmit serious diseases. It is very important to make sure to treat your animals for these pests, to help prevent an infestation in your vehicle, and home.
