Black Flag Roach Motel Traps, 2-Count (Pack of 12)

Used to find these at our local stores, but now we cannot. So happy to find on Amazon. I tried another brand that was less expensive, but they were difficult to put together. (Tent). I don't like to use poison for insect control. And living in Florida, we have lots of roaches and other creepy crawlies. These work for any creepy crawly insects. However, one time I found that one of "my" cameleons in the screen enclosure got stuck inside one motel. I took it outside and opened the motel, and used blue dawn to un-stick my natural little bug catcher. He was very happy and scurried off to the woods. I highly recommend, especially if you have pets, or children, and you don't want to use poison. Just don't let the kids or pets get ahold of them. They may not be 100% effective when you use them in a screened enclosure, but a big shoe works for the ones that haven't "checked in" yet. Great product.

We have Brown Recluse Spiders. These roach hotels seem to welcome them in. Since these spiders do not clean themselves, sprays do not work. Diatomaceous earth works because they walk through it and it starts cutting their "skin". They dry up. In the meantime, they search out a quiet p!ace like these boxes provide. Then, they get stuck. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Great

I had a roach in my snake's terrarium (I assume an egg or a nymph hitched a ride on a piece of wood). Because of the live plants and organisms in the terrarium, I couldn't spray it down or leave out poison bait. I tried several times to catch or squish the roach unsuccessfully. I was on the verge of trying to cobble together some sort of DIY trap or bait that wouldn't harm my snake or the other beetles and isopods in the enclosure when I stumbled across this trap. I set the trap in the enclosure and came back to check on it abut two hours later. Roach was stuck. The roach began to freak out and seemed to be working itself free of the trap by grabbing onto the edge and pulling, so I took the trap into the garage and sprayed it down with poison. This seemed to dissolve the glue somehow and the roach scurried off, albeit soaked in poison. If you left this trap around your house or office, the roach would have hours or days to try and work itself free. I'd be a little concerned it would do just that and continue about its life relatively unharmed, since roaches can go quite a while without food or water. However, the lack of toxins make this a relatively safe option for environments with pets and small children. For what it is, it worked pretty well.

This was the best product I could ever buy to catch roaches. Unfortunately I live in the city where as much as you kill them you have nasty neighbors that don't care about their house. I set these up by my front door and kitchen since it's by the front. These things work like magic. I definitely would recommend them. You don't have to do anything but place them in corners and let them do the work. Thank you for such an amazing product. I will be recommending this to my friends a family.

I bought a cheaper brand and as far as I can tell, the cockroaches don't seem to be lured to its scent. The Roach Motel is a better product. You buy for what you get. I am sticking with Roach Motel.

Ok so I’ve only caught one bug and I’m not sure if it’s good or bad ... is it not catching them or do I not have as many bugs as I thought .....I’m not complaining about one but just a bit curious . The bug is still alive after 4 days and I’ve kept the bug in there as a warning to its fellow friends!

This product will not end your roach problem. But it is very helpful in figuring out where the roaches are coming from. I had an infestation so I set these everywhere to figure out where most of them were coming from. The roaches do get caught in the motel. So it does work. One box caught 19 roaches. If you have an infestation like I did, set these motels to see where the roaches are coming from. Then get hot shot foggers and set them off in the rooms. Do this twice. Then set some advion gel every where. I been roach free for 3 months now.
