Cockroach infestation is a common and never-ending\u00a0problem in our daily lives.\u00a0 Roaches are everywhere, they are hard to catch and are prone to nocturnal activity.\u00a0 How about making some cockroach traps on your own and let them work wonders at night while you can have a good night’s sleep?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(i) Duct tape trap<\/p>\n

Use a paperboard, place\u00a0strips of\u00a0duct trap next to one another\u00a0with the sticky side faced up onto the cardboard; tape down the duct tapes with adhesive or masking tapes at the ends of the strips of duct tapes so that they stay firmly in place on the cardboard.<\/p>\n

Next, you need to put some roach attractant on the duct tapes to lure them, for example, flour, sugar, \"\"<\/a>peanut butter, and the like.\u00a0\u00a0You can also\u00a0add in a little boric acid as topping on the sweet stuff (because a sufficient amount of boric acid can mess up their innards and kill them subsequently).\u00a0 Place the cardboard on the ground under or near the refrigerator, cabinet, washing machine, etc.\u00a0 When you wake up next morning, check to see if there’s any cockroach stuck on it and dispose of the cardboard along with the roaches on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(ii) Jar trap<\/p>\n

Any jar will do, be it pickle jar, mayo jar or peanut butter jar.\u00a0 Apply some petroleum jelly inside the jar at the area where it curves in\u00a0for the opening, this will make the roaches that climb in to the jar unable to get out due to the slippery nature of the petroleum jelly.\u00a0 Put some sweet stuff as bait in the jar to attract them.\u00a0 You can also pour some beer as alternative bait\u00a0into the jar to drown them.<\/p>\n

Besides using jar, you can use wine bottle as an alternative trap and, instead of using petroleum jelly, you can use cooking oil.\u00a0 Put some cooking oil in the bottle, swish it until the inside of the bottle becomes oily, then pour out the excess oil and finally put in your desired bait.\u00a0 Make a few of these traps and place the jars or bottles\u00a0in areas\u00a0where the roaches frequent or suspected hideouts of the cockroaches such as kitchen cabinets, stove area, etc.<\/p>\n

The above-mentioned are just some fun traps to ensnare a few cockroaches.\u00a0 If you plan to take out a\u00a0huge number\u00a0of them, such traps would simply not be so effective.\u00a0 In fact, some roaches would be smart enough not to fall for these simple traps.\u00a0 In this case, the only solution will be to\u00a0engage a pest controller to help you solve your serious roach problem.<\/p>\n
