Washing the trailer is a very good idea. Soapy solutions will trap and kill them. They breathe through pores in their shell. The soap cuts through the waxy protective coating and clogs the pores. However, they're very good at finding hiding spots and can keep a pretty good grip to the surface they're on, so there's a good chance that some won't just blow away while going down the road.

They have enemies, but non that are naturally attracted or targets them. With those conditions they can spread pretty quickly. I have to give you kudos for at least not wanted to add to the problem.
