How do you go about inspecting, isolating, and handling any secondhand electronics to prevent bug catching?

I got a decent GPU to stick in a spare system for cheap, but there's a HIGH chance this shit has a few roaches crawling about. I got it from a roach-man/man-roach in a trench coat. Haven't yet tested it to see if it even works.

I've only ever just taken things apart and wiped down all surfaces, but that only addresses shit like Dorito debris on the keyboard, not critters potentially living inside something like a PSU or some other components' vents.

The ol' car furnace method is apparently insufficient. I thought about leaving shit in an air-tight bag/container with a rag/towel soaked in IPA, but that might damage plastic surfaces, alongside being a fire hazard.
