USKICH 20 Pack Roach Traps, Cockroach Traps Indoor Home, Glue Roach Traps, Child & Pets Safe(Upgrade Recipe)

These sticky roach traps are fantastic, especially when strategically placed where roaches hide & gather at night. ( we also used these traps simultaneously with cockroach gel bait and eradicated our infestation within 2 weeks ). The sticky roach traps are highly effective and are non toxic and safe to use. But I would strongly recommend using them IN ADDITION to using cockroach gel bait.

Honestly, this is super effective but the experience is gross. It’s not just for “little bugs”—it’s VERY STICKY, like too sticky. I don’t know how else to describe it: bugs don’t just get trapped, they end up not moving and don’t seem to be able to escape. There’s no odor, which is good, but I almost wish there was—anything would be better than seeing random bugs just crawl around and then get caught. As for cleaning, there’s basically nothing to clean because the best move is to throw it away once it’s full. Size-wise, it’s a decent size for most people’s needs. I feel bad for the lizards that can get caught, though. Overall: effective, but be careful with where you put it.

Wanted a non-toxic solution to a growing cockroach problem. Put about 5 traps out. Added a bit of fruit and meat (after the third night). Have caught 2 roaches, one was caught the first night. Perhaps our cockroaches are more intelligent than others. . . . disappointed

Update: I'm upping this to 4 stars after trying them outside. I put one near each of the back doors in a protected areas where I think the little darlings are entering now and then. It gets warm there during the day and stays dry. The traps caught a lot in night or two. So, nothing wrong with the actual traps and the attraction method. I might just not be putting them in the right areas in the house yet to catch the now and then visitor from outside or from neighborhood dig ups of sewer pipes. We usually have an influx after that kind of sewer work in the block. Plenty to keep experimenting with. Seems the little roach characters around here have to get used to these being static for a few days before they fall for it. I have seen that a bug might visit at night and are gone in the morning. But we have really strong bugs here and I've seen them exit stickier boards when they are really determined. I think some of this depends on the weather and whether or not the glue is warm or cold to due surrounding temps and maybe if things are wafting properly as to the pheromones due to cold or warmth. These are the first roach traps I've ever tried, so don't have much comparison as to if they are more effective than others. But, at least they are non-toxic to pets and humans so decided to start with these.
