Roach Motel Traps 2 Count, Contains No Pesticides, Hides Dead Bugs, 12 Pack

Haven't needed this in ages, but... Sometimes with the heavy rains come the ugly palmetto bug, and for those who think the name sounds "tropical", like "hey, Claire, come play with the palmetto bugs!" it's a fancy name for cockroach. One of these 🪳. And it isn't just 1, it's likely a dozen, a few dozen, a few hundred thousand marching across humid grass in the darkness, creeping... creeping towards the soft warm glow of the house lights, or worse yet, flying! They fly! And they don't just fly short distances, they go up high and swoop down with stunning precision. Anyway, so yeah. The garage doesn't have the perfect seal on the sides. Sure it will keep out possums and racoons and the occasional alligator (we don't get random gators but this being Florida, anything is possible), but it won't keep out the roaches or the brown recluse, which despite its name isn't very reclusive at all. Anyway, so I saw these cockroaches, and these guys fly. Yes, they fly. And depending on my mood, I either dodge them in flight, or scream like a little girl much to the amusement of my friends who would do the same if they weren't laughing so bad. Thought there was that one time a flying roach landed on my back, tumbled down my shorts only to have me flip the waistband and watch him fall out. Not a peep out of me. If you haven't had at least one intimate roach encounter in Florida, you ain't really from here. A roach in your shorts as you go commando, yeah, pretty intimate. So I threw these in the garage. Let these fly boys check in and not check out. The stickiness is excellent, won't hold a wildebeest in place but these bugs stand no chance. Effective as they are ugly. Oh well, can't have everything.

The price is reasonable and I have ordered this item many times. Very effective and so easy to set up so when the bottom fills up all you got to do is flip it over and let them crawl on the other side the whole entire box is nothing but glue so they can't get out. Very sticky glue in the box or a reasonable size and pretty sturdy

We do not have roaches, but these traps capture all kinds of house bugs in the closets, kitchen cabinets, laundry room and garage. Caught silverfish and spiders. The box itself keeps objects from just sticking on the glue surface. Just hide them where bugs crawl along the walls. Lasts a long time since you can flip them to a new side.

Been very useful. Though sometimes the traps themselves end up damage. However, if you get one that isn’t damage it helps a lot

These really do work! Follow instructions; if you don't catch your prey on first few nights, move hotels around as instructions say.

Been using for 40 years. They work fantastic!!!

I don’t find roach motels, catching that many roaches anymore?? I prefer the brands that come with bait. They’re a bit of a nuisance to put together, but they catch more bugs.

The Black Flag Roach Motels have been around for a long time and for good reason. They work! Somehow, we got a minor infestation of roaches. Sprays can be hazardous as heck to your health, your pets, fish, birds etc. I have tried several other brands of sticky traps without much success. Mainly, the roaches would use the traps as a hangout and then go about their business like nothing was holding them back. This is NOT true of the Black Flag Roach Motels. The attractant in the trap draws them in, and the glue in the trap KEEPS them in until they die. But I did discover something that made these traps work even better. Science has determined that several species of roaches have developed a dislike for any glucose based traps. This is why sugar baited traps don't always work. I got a few without the quick add trick below. PEANUT BUTTER! I put a small amount of peanut butter in each trap using a craft stick to apply the PB in the center of the trap like a smear. That was like putting a sign up for the roaches that read "Free Lunch Kids! Come and get it!" The roaches checked in, died and did NOT check out. To use the traps simply put them where you have either seen roaches, or their droppings and wait a few days. Once the bottom gets filed, simply turn the trap over and let it do it's thing. You won't need any extra peanut butter since it will still draw them in. Once you have filled both sides, simply throw it away in the garbage. These come 2 to a package with a total of 12 packages (24 traps). Once our infestation was gone, I followed up with roach bait and SOME spray to act as a barrier spray. The reason for the bait is to get them to go back to the nest with it and die. Roaches are cannibalistic, and will eat their dead. The poison stays in their bodies, and as other roaches eat the dead one, they die as well, and the cycle goes on and on. I also keep the spray as a spot-killer for if I see one moving around. Spray it and THAT roach dies. Then just sweep it up and toss it out. You don't want his family coming to the funeral feast. These traps worked to help eliminate the problem along with bait and spray. I haven't seen one now in several days. 24 traps should be more than enough to handle any problems you might have with the little beasties.

put peanut butter Inside and hide in their nest

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

It attracts a lot of roaches

Tardo mucho en llegar pero es un buen producto

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