Black Flag Roach Motel Traps, 2-Count (Pack of 12)

Works well placed in high roach traffic spots. Nice, convenient box that hides contents and you only need to unpackage it and not have to do bait separately and it doesn't smell. One thing I feel like I'll have to try is to smear a little peanut butter in the center to see if it might work any better. But, it doesn't help as much as you want if you don't first clean up your house, and regularly, so that there's no food out and very few hiding spaces (everything away in cabinets or sealed boxes). Which is the main reasons roaches can even proliferate. Good luck to all of you out there who are dealing with this problem.

My apartment in northern GA may be up on the third floor, but it does have a problem with the creepy-crawlies every now and then. The roaches generally show up in abrupt waves, at intervals of a few months, often after a heavy rainstorm. There's also the normal "living in the South" problem of those small crunchy beetles that stink to high heaven if you smash them. The apartment complex does what it can, but...we're in the South. We're gonna get bugs. I have tried, and am not a fan, of the foldable glue traps. They're unsightly, and when the cat stepped into one, it promptly turned into a slapstick comedy routine. So, I decided to try these. Placed half a dozen of them in a 900 sq. ft. apartment (2 on either side of the balcony door, 2 on either side of the oven where there are gaps in the kitchen cabinets, one each in the bathroom and office room, all of them right up against the baseboard). Overkill? Maybe. But I had no idea beforehand how well these things would work. The verdict: they DO work, and do so outstandingly. Since placing them several months back, I have seen exactly one creepy-crawly bug in the open in the entire apartment. And left to his own devices he'd likely find a way to get stuck in the thing shortly. That's it. Zero roaches. For that matter, zero spiders, something of a miracle in Georgia. After a few months, I assume that they're probably due for replacement soon, but they're still working. Unlike the foldable glue traps, there's a bit of a "ramp" at either end that not only acts as a wall once the bugs cross it, but also blocks the trapped bug corpses from view. They seem to be cat-proof as well - the ramp entrances make it impossible for the cat to get stuck on the thing unless they REALLY tried, while the bugs are hidden from the cat's view as well. Win/win. These cost a bit more than the generic glue traps, but they're worth it. They simply work. There's a reason the things have been on the market for nearly 50 years. My only "gripe" is that I wish they had a selection of a few colors to blend in with the decor better, but that's a quibble. When the glue on these stops being effective, I'm definitely buying another batch.

These work great. So easy to use. Just place them where you want, move them to a different spot if needed. Pesrs get in but they can't get out. That's it!

I live in the city and there was a big’un hanging out in my kitchen, terrorizing me from the dark. Took me a couple nights to get it, and to be honest, I had to kinda chase it into the trap (hence the missing star). Then, I was overcome with guilt. I, too, simply want a safe, dry place to call home. Do we know, for certain, that we are not all one soul? Living a billion lives? Will I one day be the roach in the trap??? I took it out back and unfolded the motel and found a stick and tried to save that little guy. But the trap was too efficient. Too sticky. I really really couldn’t get the bugger unstuck. My hands were all shaky and clammy because, despite my guilt, ew yuck a roach! So I ended up putting it - him? - out of its misery and sent it off to a burial at sea (in the dumpster). Anyway, it was easy to assemble and there was no smell. Didn’t catch any roaches on its own, but worked once I cornered a roach into it. Id buy it again!

Wow, they worked extremely well!! I have six in my apartment and I'm buying two more. Place them in highly trafficed areas of bugs. Pantry and side boards. Every room. I highly recommend these!!!

These "tiny houses" work great, especially for the big bugs that scramble out of manhole covers and drain vents at night. We've seen monster bugs escape containment by swimming upstream against the laundry room drain, looking all withered and dehydrated from the detergent. We've also had to resort to fitting our tub overflow covers with gaskets to block the bugs from escaping there and playing roller derby in the tub. For a real bit of fun, try parking some of these traps outside near your front and back doors. :^) Note that the "(Pack of 12}" size is actually being sold as twelve traps total, i.e. six packs of two traps each (the price for this size is just about the same as the "6-Pack" size). If you want a case of twelve packs (24 traps total) then you'll probably want to purchase the "12 Pack" size. Clear as mud! (and whatever other sludge these vermin live in...)

Yes. these work. HOWEVER, they work too well and kill other beneficial animals in the process. I got 3 roaches but killed 5 lizards. Those 5 lizards (an additional 3 were rescued) took out way more roaches than these traps did, for sure. Now that I know they are around, I'm never buying these again. The collateral damage to my local ecosystem was just too high for me to justify a few roaches. In time, the lizards will breed and control the problem for me. Check these daily if you do use them and if you catch an animal in there, you can release them with a little cooking oil. Just work it in where they are stuck and they'll eventually work free.

they are effectice

put peanut butter Inside and hide in their nest

I take this overseas to our summer home and it is brilliant

Its just one week since i purchase it i see a lot of roaches trap inside definitely its effective

They really work well, provided they're placed in the different location and are left for a few days. Non toxic!
