simply buy a small packet/box of roach poison.  a kind bro once gave me just alittle bit, and that worked like magic. quite a few roaches died in the box after eating the poison.

if no choice, then have to clean the interior thoroughly - vacuum and remember the joints/folds in the leather seats, also under the seats and put roach poison
can also put pandan leaves

roaches come thru the holes from under the car i believe. there's holes in teh floorboard. not sure about the latio, but in my old car, there are holes. the holes is for water to drain away. they r under your carpet.

i put pandan leaves but still see quite a few of them running around when i was resting in the car at night. Seem like they dont like to hide during day time.
now put a few "wipe out" to get rid of them ...
