3 Effective Cockroach Trapping Methods

If you hate the sight of the roaches and want to get rid of them from your house-all you need to do is set a trap. It is a great alternative to bug spray. You can even save a lot of your money by doing this.
We are a company providing residential pest control in North Shore. We always suggest our customers to opt for trapping methods. Here we have discussed about these methods, which you can use to get rid of the cockroaches from your home.


Sticky tape and onion trap
Do you have some sticky tapes? Use them as a trapping tool. You will also need onion for it. Chop off a small piece of onion and put it right in the middle of the sticky tape. Make sure to place the tape in some dark place of your room and keep it overnight. In the morning, you will surely find many cockroaches being trapped. They will be stuck on that sticky tape.

Jar trap
If you don’t have any sticky tape in your house, you can use a glass jar for trapping roaches. But remember the jar must be like a spaghetti or mayonnaise sauce jar-a quartz size one with a slight shoulder. Duct tape all over it the outside portion except the underside portion and coat at least four inches down from top in the inside portion of the glass jar with petroleum jelly. Put a fruit that’s smelly like banana peel or anything other in the jar’s bottom and then place it outdoors or indoors wherever you have cockroach problem. The roaches will surely climb up and fall in without being able to get out from the jar. At this moment, you can pour some boiling water to kill those insects.

Once they are killed, flush them down the toilet and recharge the jar with more petroleum jelly and a new fragrant fruit or banana peel or anything other.

Red wine trap

This might be a bit costlier option than the other two methods that have been mentioned above but it is surely a better alternative than bug spraying. To put this method into effect, all you need to have is some red wine and a glass or container which is cylindrical in shape. The glass must at least be filled half with wine. You can even water and wine if you think it to be a bit costlier. Make sure to place the glass in a strategic position all over the night. 

Cockroaches will generally get attracted by the smell of wine and may fall inside not being able to come up instantly. They won’t be able to come up because of the shape of the glass and they will die probably because of the effects of alcohol.

  1. Yellow jackets and white faced hornets. We all know about them. Nests in the ground, big gray nests hanging from tree branches, in shrubbery, on the roof line of the house, or yellow jackets getting into the house from nests that are in the structure of your home. Matt (my stepson) and I ran ourselves ragged dealing with these things this summer. It started about mid-July, which is typical. Then it cranked up, and never stopped until about 2 weeks ago. They were everywhere!
