Black Flag Roach Motel Insect Trap, 12-Pack

Love it

catches all kinds of 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.End of Review===Thank you for taking a minute out of your busy life to read my review.

It does't appear to hold roaches well. Maybe i dont have as many roaches as i thought i had. The box seems like its not that sticky

These are incredible for a loser like me. You just really need to emphasize placement. If you don't have a good enough of an idea of where the roaches are coming from, you may catch little to no roaches. And yes, this could be a matter of just a few feet. These aren't bait, just little tunnels of glue that a roach will ignorantly walk through on his normal path (unless you are adding your own bait).I purchased the big bundle so I just went ahead and placed them in each kitchen corner and the oven and dishwasher gaps since I had an abundance of "motels" at my disposal. These single-handedly brought my kitchen back to normal in just a few days and maintained normalcy of the area thereafter long enough to get the kitchen clean to absolve the problem.I guess my one complaint is that they are so cheesy. In no way, can you just leave these around if you have a guest over without looking like you're disgusting. The color of the motels bring attention to them and then there is the big ridiculous verbage of "ROACH MOTEL". Maybe that's the point. To embarrass you in the process so that you don't do something stupid like leaving your kitchen too dirty ever again?Alas, I live alone right now so I don't care. These were exactly what I needed for my problem.

I was unfortunate enough to buy a vintage gaming console and discovered too late that it was full of stowaways of the six legged variety. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I bought these partly out of desperation because I didn’t want to have to tell anybody about our infestation. Within a week, the roach population was significantly decreased. The little cardboard boxes were disgustingly full. It was terrible, but I would rather see more dead roaches than live ones.They have worked very well for us, but I wouldn’t use them as a catch all remedy for solving a roach problem. You can use them to attract roaches, but these don’t take the poison back to the nest where the larva and all the other creatures are. For that, you would have to use something else. We put two of them behind that offending console and had to throw them away in two weeks. I hate roaches.

It's great! Works wonders!!! There are 2 more I'm also trying out. I will leave a review on those too but separately. No need to build or put anything inside; already has a bait smell in it. I change them after 1 week (the box) and in 1 month I change the brand (kind of box). So they don't get smart and avoid.

Worthless. These must’ve been old packs because they didn’t catch one bug
