\"\"This is one of the easiest ways of setting a homemade cockroach trap as it involves using some duct tape and bait.

You can use a quart size jar to make this homemade roach trap. Use masking tape to cover the jar so that the cockroaches get enough grip to climb it. As they climb the jar, they will ultimately fall inside it, and they will not have a way to climb out again. Most DIY homemade roach traps like this, make use of a bit of petroleum jelly on the inside of the jar to make it slippery, preventing the roaches from climbing out.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A SLIMY BOTTLE AND ROACHES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour some cockroach bait like leftover wine. Use a cooking spray or even some petroleum jelly inside the bottle, to make the sides slimy and slippery. Do not forget to wrap some masking tape around the bottle to give the cockroach some traction while climbing the bottle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Place this roach bait trap near the places where you suspect a cockroach nest is residing. If you want to increase the roach trap effectiveness, leave a slight trail of the bait leading to the bottle to entice the little pests even more.You can keep changing the bottle every few days, and you will notice the number of roaches captured starts declining slowly. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0LEARN TO REUSE THE SODA BOTTLE<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0COCKROACH FOGGERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This particular product releases chemicals in the form of a mist of fog which are poisonous to roaches. Unfortunately, they are not considered to be very efficient as they lack the ability to reach most of the hiding places of cockroaches. <\/span><\/p>\n
