Here are the methods to deal with cockroaches in the car: 1. Place orange or lemon peels: Cockroaches prefer enclosed spaces as they are ideal for laying eggs and breeding. Sometimes, you may find a lot of cockroach droppings when you lift the seat cushion. You can cut the leftover orange or lemon peels into small pieces, dry them by baking, and then place them in the car. The smell will deter cockroaches from coming near. 2. Sprinkle detergent powder: Cockroaches often appear in areas with food and clutter, where they like to hide. Trying to step on them is usually ineffective, and even if you succeed, the eggs inside the cockroach may still hatch. You can sprinkle detergent powder in areas where cockroaches are frequently seen. Cockroaches that ingest the powder will die easily. Then, pour boiling water over them to ensure they are eliminated. 3. Soapy water: Cockroaches are known for their resilience. After eliminating a group, many more may still be hiding in unknown corners, continuing to breed. To eradicate them completely, you can pour soapy water in areas where cockroaches are often found. When cockroaches crawl through it, their undersides will come into contact with the soapy water, immobilizing them.

Last month, I had a cockroach infestation in my car, and it was absolutely dreadful! First, I emptied all the clutter, including snack wrappers and trash, then thoroughly vacuumed every corner of the seats, trunk, and floor mats, and even scrubbed the dashboard. I placed boric acid bait and hid gel in the door gaps and air vents to eliminate the roaches once they ingested it. I also hired a professional pest control service to spray insecticide, which cost a few hundred bucks but worked quickly. Prevention is key—now I clean up any food residue daily, seal gaps around doors and windows with silicone, and regularly spray mint repellent under the car. Cockroaches can spread bacteria and harm health; if left unchecked, they could ruin the car entirely, especially in summer when they multiply faster. This experience has made me swear off eating in the car for good.

What are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc?

The following are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc: 1. When you step hard on the accelerator, the engine speed increases rapidly, but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly. You can clearly feel a lack of acceleration power. 2. When starting the car with the clutch pedal fully released, you still feel insufficient starting power or difficulty in starting. 3. The slipping is more noticeable when the car is heavily loaded going uphill or driving on muddy or soft roads. In severe cases, a burning smell may emit from the clutch. 4. When braking while driving, the engine does not stall but continues to run normally. A slipping clutch can easily cause the following hazards: 1. Power loss, energy dissipation, rolling back on slopes, insufficient reverse traction, and weak driving performance. 2. Incomplete separation can cause instant damage to the transmission gears, drive shaft, and differential, and prolonged use can lead to engine damage.

What are the symptoms of a damaged engine cylinder head?

The symptoms of a damaged engine cylinder head include engine weakness, one or two cylinders not working, and blockage in the water passage. Engine weakness: After the cylinder head is damaged, acceleration becomes difficult, and you often feel the engine is weak while driving. Additionally, there may be a leaking sound at the joint between the cylinder head and the cylinder block or in certain areas. One or two cylinders not working: After the cylinder head is damaged, some cylinders may stop working, producing abnormal noises; the radiator's water filler port continuously emits bubbles, and oil droplets may appear on the surface of the coolant; the engine oil turns milky white, and water droplets continuously flow from the exhaust pipe. Blockage in the water passage: If there is accumulated water in the water passage after the cylinder head is damaged, blockage may occur; the cooling fins of the diesel engine cylinder head may also become blocked, causing localized overheating. Overheating in the water cavity area between the intake and exhaust passages can lead to insufficient engine power or even failure to start.

What does it mean when an electronic driver's license has unhandled violations?

Electronic driver's license with unhandled violations refers to situations where the driver's license and vehicle bound to the 12123 app have committed traffic violations that have not been addressed. For example, if there are penalty points and fines for traffic violations on the license but the driver has not gone to the vehicle management office to clear the points or pay the fines, etc. This serves as a reminder for the vehicle owner to handle these matters. Methods to check for violations: You can check within the Traffic Management 12123 app by clicking on the violation records, where you can see details of unhandled violations such as the location, time, and photos taken of the violation. If violations are indeed present, these records need to be addressed. Consequences of not handling violations: Generally, late fees start accruing from the 16th day after the violation. If a vehicle under the driver's license has unhandled violations, it may affect the renewal of the driver's license upon its expiration. The renewal application will not be approved during the review process at the vehicle management office.
