Deer Tick Infestation In My Disco?

Deer Tick Infestation In My Disco?
I've used repellent to keep em off but how about I have a nest or 10 inside my Rover. I told you guys I live on a hunting plantation. I know Conn. is bad for them so hopefully someone will know a trick. I can't just go in with a bug bomb or it will damage all sorts of electronics. Any thoughts guys? I'm guessing a hog dog or a hunter brought them in and they enjoyed the damp climate as well as the carpet.

"Moth *****", I know it smells bad, but Moth ***** will rid all pests. Buy a box for two or three bucks and toss-em everywhere. They will disintigrate in about a week and the smell goes away. I'm in the ARMY and always place my uniforms in a plastic trash bag with Moth ***** before going out to the field. Always keeps the ticks, chiggers and mosquitos far away from me. Also use them in my storm shelter to keep the spiders out, works perfect. Moth ***** for any pest related problem.

Thanks for the info guys. If the owner of the plantation was still around I'm sure he'd have something that would get em gone and it would involve a swig of VO. I drove down to the feed store and they all said to shake Clorox Bleach powder all over the truck and pour some liquid into some tupper ware dishes. Leave it all inside and seal up the truck for a day in the heat. Said the boric acid in the bleach would kill anything in there. I however will roll with the moth bolls because that sounds like a more manageable smell.

Black Powder....fill up the truck and toss in a match....or, the moth ball one sounds like less fun and slower procedure. But you would still have a Disco after it was over. Cedar might work. I burn lots of cedar(about 2 cord this winter) but still had spiders in the wood pile(not sure if that is relevant).

First, yank the carpets completely out, they just hold moisture anyway.
The aromatics in cedar keep bugs out of cedar, don't know if it would do much unless you use a heck of a lot.
Boric acid is available in a squeeze bottle similar to talcum powder. You could try white vinegar sprayed in there.

Buy some of the cheapest Vodka you can find, like in a plastic gallon jug, put that in a spray mister and spray it all down, that should do the job. I saw that on one of the TV shows on cleaning. Forgot all about it until I saw the above comment.
I would also just yank the carpets out, they merely hold dirt and moisture and grow nasty things underneath including rust as well as mold and possibly bug infestations as you are having.
