    5.0 out of 5 stars These Work. Period.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
    And that’s really all you need to know. Well, maybe a few other things.

    The backdrop: I bought these when I discovered I had a minor issue in my kitchen – mildly alarming, as I had never had any problems before. However, I live in an apartment building, so I can’t choose my neighbors.

    It took about a month to get the problem under control. To the reviewer who complained that these traps take “longer” (a whopping 5-6 days!) to work: these traps are not going to solve your problem overnight. I’m no entomologist, but even I can figure out that it is going to take some time to break the insect birth cycle.

    There was no way this squeamish consumer was going to check the “hotels” for “occupancy,” so initially I replaced the traps every two weeks. Once things were under control, I began replacing them every four weeks. To the reviewer who said these last for a couple of months: the package says they are effective for up to a month. Don’t be cheap at the risk of reintroducing this nightmare problem into your home. These traps are not expensive.

    To the reviewer who complained about inferior “paper engineering”: I had no problem picking up the carrying knob, but if you find it to be an issue, just MacGyver it and attach a small binder clip to the knob for an easier way to pick up the trap.

    Assembly: these were easy to put together. If you find these difficult to assemble, I guarantee that you won’t be going anywhere near flat pack furniture kits. And you’d better hope your kid’s Christmas list doesn’t include any toys that require assembly.

    Note that while these are billed as roach traps, these are equal opportunity traps that do not discriminate.

    To the reviewer who said he was going to supplement the bait with food to better attract insects – um, NO. You want the insects to be drawn to the bait, not feel like they are at the food court surrounded by multiple choices.

    Please note that while these traps are extremely effective, you must do your part. Don’t leave food out on the counter. Stash that candy dish. Use a lidded wastebasket and take out the trash frequently. You may even need to put away Fido’s food and water at night (yes, insects love water).

    Place traps in areas to which pets and small children do not have access. Same goes for storage of unused traps. My Houdini cat has figured out how to open cupboards, so into a closet they go.

    Once your problem is under control, continue trap placement as a preventative measure.

    Pros:
    They work!
    Easy to use
    Inexpensive

    Cons:
    I’ll get back to you when I think of one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works OK (UPDATE: works EXTREMELY well)
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022
    I got this along with some other type of roach traps. The other roach traps seemed to have worked a little better but these still worked well enough that I may get these for the less traveled areas, as well as for very tight spaces.

    These attracted roaches well enough and I'm pleased to say that it attracted a "mama roach" who proceeded to hatch her babies on the sticky strip. It's really satisfying to see that, as it means that at least one generation of roaches will be fewer. Unfortunately it's not going to be enough on its own, as I live in an apartment complex and they are in the walls here. It would take a concentrated effort from everyone in the complex, not just our building, and there are just too many apartments to do this without displacing everyone for a period of time. What this does do is keep those unwanted guests down to a degree.

    You can pair this up with other methods, such as diatomaceous earth if you're trying to avoid pesticides. It would likely be more effective with poisons, but I know that not everyone can do this for reasons of health, pets, and so on. You can switch these out every month or as needed, depending on your situation. Even if your pests aren't that bad, make sure that it doesn't get too dusty or the sticky won't be as effective.

    UPDATE:

    I hadn't initially thought much about these since I hadn't seen much "traffic" on the more easily visible traps. One of the places I'd put these was under the fridge, a place that honestly tends to be a haven for roaches because it's always dark and is very difficult for the average person to access. Apartment management sent an exterminator to to their thing and they swept under the fridge. I'd forgotten that these were under there and WOW. This was packed full of the gross buggers, far more than I realized were actually present! I'm absolutely buying another two sets of these so I can slide some more under there. The only thing I wish these had was some sort of string or something that would make it easier to pull these out. I can add my own string, but it seems like it would be a good addition for the company to include for a little bit extra.

    UPDATE 2:

    These still work great. They even catch non-roach pests. Also, I forgot to mention this previously but I like that my cat is generally uninterested in these. I'd had some roach bait stations that contained poison and my cat was intensely interested in them, to the point where he'd actively try to get to them if they were under something or in a cabinet. I eventually had to put those in places he wouldn't be able to reach, which unfortunately were also not hotspots for roaches. These I can put wherever I want, without fear that my cat will try to get at the bait.

    Also again, I highly recommend pairing this with something like DE or a good spray.

    UPDATE 3:

    I have moved out of that awful apartment complex, but guess what? Some got into my car! This works especially well as the car is a finite space. My recommendation though is to clean your car out completely and vacuum it as thoroughly as you can to remove as many eggs and roaches as possible. You can put some in beforehand if you wish, but it'll work better with a clean and (at least nearly) empty car as they have fewer other sources of food and will be more likely to seek out the bait. Make sure to put these under your seats and if you have a spare tire well, put at least one in there. I also paired this with Advion gel baits, as traps alone are unlikely to get them all. Oh, and if you can pull up the little plastic foot scrapers by the door, you may want to do so and put some Borax tablets in there. All in all I'm not sure how bad the infestation was, but all I'm getting now are stragglers and I now rarely see anything scurrying out of view when I go to check and replace traps.

    Also if you're curious, these will catch wood roaches. Those guys don't really want to live or breed indoors, so I'm not really worried about those but it was nice to see.

    Works fantastic. Easy to set up just don't touch the glue. It is really sticky which is great for getting the Roaches. It comes with a food bate that roaches seem to like. The first 2 I set up caught a nice collection of roaches. I did not know I had that many. Works 100000000% better than the bate and die stuff. I already recommended it to a couple friends of mine. Its fun catching them on the glue!!

    Bye Bye Roaches. I think I can leave them down for quite a while and still be sticky.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2024
    Seems to work, as when I removed the old ones to replace with new traps, there were several bugs and roaches in the old traps.

    The only downside is that they are a little hard to put together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value. Fast and effective
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
    21 caught first night with one trap. The trap captured 21 German cockroaches large and small the very first night. I just bought 3 more packs of 5 for back-up. For first time users: I recommend practicing step five before step one Allows you to practice folding the top along indicated edges prior to exposing the sticky surface. And if you’re going to lay this trap on a flat surface ignore the side “press this flap…” I have used two other brands, roach motel and combat zone, and I really prefer this method. Yes it takes a minute to set up. But totally worth it. I tried five times to upload a photo for you to see “the catch.” Couldn’t. Wanted you to see the 21 roaches on one sticky surface.
