[SOLVED] Roach fogger in pc

[Sytranom]

Would putting my desktop pc in a garbage bag then using a roach fogger damage anything and kill the roaches? I just want to know because I don't want to cause my gaming pc to be destroyed due to it or the roaches.

There are lots of roaches, I just recently found out and saw some eggs hatched in there.

Disassemble and clean it properly. You're trying a lazy shortcut. Lazy shortcuts in cleanliness are a great way to get roaches in the first place.

Okay but do I have to fully dissasemble it like taking out the motherboard, ram, cpu cooler, fans, etc?

If the roaches have made enough of a home to lay eggs, yes.

I would recommend it. The space between the back of the motherboard and the case would be a prime place for a roach.
After you have cleaned it, put some boric acid tablets (not the powder) in the case to help kill any new arrivals.

Also, if there are roaches in the PC, there are many many roaches elsewhere in the house.
You need to take care of those as well.

Yes. After Tardigrades roaches are most resilient animals and their eggs can survive in any climate and a re resilient to most insecticides that are not dangerous to humans.

Ok thank you guys.

Do I need to keep it disassembled to keep the boric acid tablets in there and kill them? And if I do for how long?
