Cockroaches live all over the world, but their favorite residence is your house, where they can snack on your food, damage wallpaper and books, and spread germs to you and your family.Hate those roaches in your house? One way to get rid of them is by setting a trap. It's a great alternative to bug spray, and it costs less than paying somebody to remove the bugs for you. There are a variety of things you can do yourself to help kill the cockroaches. Cockroach traps lure cockroaches in and then trap them with an adhesive. Get several of these, and place them wherever cockroaches are known to frequent. Sticky traps can catch most cockroach pest species, Effective Sticky Trap Placement Sticky traps have to be placed where cockroaches are likely to run. If you unfortunately already have a bad infestation, you can tell where they run by the trails of cockroach feces, which look like small black dots that run along the wall or floor between food sources and harborages. If you can't find trails, place them along the wall or floor in warm areas (behind the stove and fridge are popular), and places where there is water. Cockroaches need water more than food, so target pet water bowls, leaky faucets, and the water tray under the refrigerator. To Bait or Not to Bait? When it comes to sticky traps, it's really not necessary to bait them if you place them effectively. Cockroaches will naturally walk across the traps and become stuck. Some traps advertise that they are pre-baited to lure cockroaches in, but if they're not placed along regular cockroach runs, they're not going to attract many cockroaches. Although sticky traps can effectively catch cockroaches, they are not really an effective cockroach control method. Cockroaches breed prodigiously, and the odds of catching all the cockroaches in your house are very small. If even a few cockroaches escape, they will quickly breed up to their old numbers. What sticky traps are good for is to help you know whether you have an infestation. They can be used either before contacting pest control to identify the problem, or after to tell whether the professional has been effective in controlling your problem. You can make a cheap and effective cockroach trap out of an empty jar and some petroleum jelly. Any jar with a rounded inside lip will work. Coat the inner lip of the jar with the petroleum jelly. Then place a piece of bait — beer-soaked bread, dog food, apples, you name it — in the jar. Wrap a paper towel around the outside of the jar to give the critters something to grab onto, and place the traps in high-risk areas. The petroleum jelly will keep the roaches from climbing back out once they're in USE TRAPS TO IDENTIFY AND TRACK COCKROACH POPULATIONS: Cockroach traps are available in hardware stores. Place traps on the floor around edges of walls, in cupboards and other places where you think roaches are foraging. Place bait stations at locations where you trap roaches. Check traps daily. Sticky traps with pheromones may provide some control of German cockroaches. If you have cockroaches, the best way to get rid of them is to contact a pest control professional.
