I'm babysitting twins of 7 years old this afternoon, their house is full of cockroaches?

Question

I'm planning on bringing them to the beach, very scared to bring them into my house, they will probably bring a bag of toys and clothes, i will put their bag in my car. my question is do these bugs need food to live, there's no food in car so i'm thinking that they will die, i love those kids but so afraid to get close to them and bring those bugs back home.

Answer 1

Yes, cockroaches can be carried from one place to another in bags, clothes, etc. They do need food, like any living thing, and will find even the smallest crumbs in your vehicle to survive on. They multiply extremely quickly, so I would be very careful about having their things in my house or car. Inspect their belongings thoroughly before putting them in your car.

Answer 2

"Heres Some Facts And What You Should Do:"

*They Can Live 5 days with there head off. (sick i know)

**They Like To live near Food & Water.

***AND WHAT REAL SUCKS IS THAT Thay have been knowen that they can live without food for up to 3 MONTHS! So If there in your car they could live in there for about 3 months.

****They Also need a placs to reproduce.

"Heres What I thing you should do..."

ask if you can put out a thing in there home (i dont know what its called) but its WORKS i had some ant problems, Its a trap you buy it like this...it has food in side the what ever its called but the food kills them. Ask someone at the store or something about it or if they have it. I hope this helps. =)

Answer 3

They will try to find food in your car so just give them some clothes.

Answer 4

I would not even put there bag in your car.... You should tell there mother to BOMB the house of bugs.... That so gross... they need to get those cockroaches out of there house..  

Answer 5

bug spray

Answer 6

Bugs as these are only see when running from hiding place to another place out of eye sight

.

They are only seen then or when they find food in an open area and then as soon as anything comes to close to them they are gone

.

So my advice is to put the kids cloths in the dryer set to high temp for 15 minutes

and the toys

spray or wash off in a little bleach water to kill any eggs that might be on them

.

Answer 7

WTH, HOW COULD THEY BRING COCKROACHES? IT'S NOT LIKE BED BUGS, COCKROACHES DON'T SPREAD AROUND LIKE AN INFDECTIOUS DIDEASE. HA THAT'S KINDA FUNNY YOU ARE SCARED ABOUT THAT BUT SERIOUSLY?

Answer 8

Try to go through the bag first to help keep the roaches out of your car. Also if their house is full of cockroaches that is very unsanitary for kids and the parents need to get an exterminator quick.  

Answer 9

dont let them in the house, keep their day fun outside

Answer 10

ohhh. make sure you dont bring their bags inside all it takes is 1 roach to start an infestation. you should leave the bag in your car because roaches dont live in cars. it is hard to do this because you dont want to look like an a*****e but you dont want roaches either. good luck i hope they dont ask to bring the whole bag in just tell them to take 1 toy from the bag.

Answer 11

LoL I am sure no roaches will get in there bags. My Boyfriends house is exactly the same and I can guarantee that no roaches will follow you home. My house was once full of roaches too , but then we bought smoke thingys to kill roaches, that we threw in the basement and within a month we no longer had a roach problem. its been three years since a roach has been in my house.  

Answer 12

I haven't had to deal with those bugs-we got fleas once from the neighbors dog and it was a pain and awlful. I wouldn't bring anything with me that could carry them back in my house either-I would bring some cash and my keys and put it in my pocket and not bring my purse. Just leave the toys and clothes in the car until needed (maybe they will die in the hot car I don't know) and shake out the clothes and look at them too. 1 toy at a time sounds good too. Look in your car after they leave too. Good luck to you; that is scary to me.    

Answer 13

they will leave if they don't find food but the multiply really quick be careful use bug spray when they are gone and open all your windows if you are in the car  

Answer 14

Put their stuff in plastic bags and close tightly. Don't open them till you get the the beach.

Then open each one on the beach or in the park. Shake all the items out, lay them out on the sand and inspect. Make a game of it, naming each piece, which should we play with first, counting them, etc.

Chances are if there are cockroaches in there they will run away. Then have fun with the twins the rest of the day.

Best wishes.

Answer 15

Cockroaches can live for days without food. They can live in the crumbs in the seat cushions or under your seats for weeks. Inspect everything before putting it in your car.  I have a friend who brought them into his house by stepping on a female cockroach who was carrying eggs. The eggs got in the treads of his shoes and came off in his rug.

Answer 16

good luck! :D

Answer 17

cockroaches will live more than a month without food, you should ask the parents if the kids r allergic to them. If they are allergic then you should come to the kids parents house. If they have asthma they could have an athsma attack.
