How to make a cockroach trap with your own hands

Most owners rightly believe that to win over cockroaches you can use any insecticidal and effective folk facilities. But get rid of ancient insects - cockroachesCarrying bacteria into the house is not easy at all. These insects move quickly and settle in such corners, which is difficult to reach most poisons.

Cracks in the floor, old furniture, holes for baseboards, bins, garbage chutes - a person cannot get to these places, but there it is quite comfortable for cockroaches. Such places cannot be treated with insecticides, therefore it is required to apply traps. For cost savings and confidence in the safety of the product for humans, a cockroach trap can be made independently.

Self-made efficiency

Cockroaches in the house

A large colony of insects is difficult to lime only insecticides. When things have gone this far, you should contact one of the many sanitary services available in abundance in Moscow and major cities. To prevent the situation from reaching this phase, it is worth making timely efforts to reduce the population. To do this, use a variety of methods, including a trap for cockroaches.

These devices are most effective with a small or medium number of Prusacks. But this way it is impossible to get rid of eggs. Installing a trap is a temporary measure, valid until the next generation is bred.The best option is a combination of mechanical trapping methods with insecticides.

Rules of application

Traps for cockroaches set in places of residence of cockroaches or on the way of their movement. Most often it is the area under the sink and next to the waste bucket in the kitchen, bathroom. Insects hide behind plinths, furniture and batteries, so a cockroach trap should be placed closer to the walls of the room.

Cockroach traps

Caught insects pour boiling water to kill. Experts do not recommend flushing them with cold water into the toilet, because there is a high probability that they will be revived and returned through sewer pipes.

They ate a lot of cockroaches, do-it-yourself cockroach traps can reduce their number in a week, but they cannot save them from all Prusaks. To get rid of cockroaches for a long time, you need to clean products, keep the bathroom and sinks dry.

Advantages and disadvantages

Do-it-yourself cockroach traps have features that make them very attractive to many:

• high efficiency;
• low cost, seeking to free;
• safety for people and pets;
• Some models are reusable.

The disadvantages of homemade traps are the same as those produced by industrial methods:

• low effectiveness against spills
• against large colonies ineffective. Requires frequent replacement or cleaning.

Adhesive trap

It is possible to make traps for cockroaches from the usual materials available in each house:

• cardboard or thick paper about 20 * 20 cm;
• scissors;
• double-sided tape or long-drying glue. Scotch tape must be very sticky so that the cockroach could not snatch its paws from it.

Glue traps

To understand how to make a cockroach trap, you need to read the instructions:

1. Cut a piece of cardboard into the required size. If the packaging went from something, it needs to be deployed.
2. Paste the inner side with adhesive tape or apply an even layer of glue on it.
3. If a box is used, it is collected again. Sheet of cardboard can be used immediately after application.
4. A strong-smelling food is placed in the center of the paper sheet, preferably moist and viscous - it is this texture that allows the smell to be released longer.
5. Place in places of accumulation of cockroaches. As the filling of the box is replaced with new ones. Old burned or thrown away.

Interesting!

The main disadvantage of "homemade" - unaesthetic appearance. Squeamish people will not be able to use this method.

The cockroach trap with your own hands can be even simpler: it is enough to paste over the plinth with double-sided tape. All fixtures should be left overnight, most of them in the kitchen. Cockroach tape is replaced as it is filled. Cockroaches will fall into the trap and without bait.

Bank

The trap from the can is done quite simply. It will require:

• paper;
• Bank volume of 2-3 liters;
• Super glue;
• vegetable oil or petrolatum;
• scissors.

Jar trap

You should act like this:

1. Wrap a jar of paper so that the cockroaches are comfortable to climb to the top. You can fix it at the neck with superglue.
2. Inside the top of the jar is treated with oil or petroleum jelly. The walls become slippery.Cockroaches that have fallen to the bottom, will not be able to climb on them.
3. Put an odorous trap on the bottom.
4. The jar is installed in the kitchen, insects are regularly removed from it.

Note!

The appearance of such a trap does not please the eye, so it is better to put it in a place where it will not be seen.

Bottle trap

For the manufacture of such a trap need a plastic bottle and bait. The bottle is cut across so that the bottom is larger. The cap is screwed off the neck. The upper part is inserted into the bottom down the neck. At the bottom of the resulting trap lay the bait. Cockroaches rush into the bottle, crawl into the neck and remain inside, because they are not able to guess to get out the same way. Those who manage to catch in this way, it is better to pour boiling water.

How to choose a bait

The best bait for cockroaches - fragrant bait. Suitable products with a strong buttery or sweet smell. I often use onions, but you can pick up something more pleasant. Use pieces of banana peel, overripe fruit. If "your" cockroaches attracts a certain product, it is better to use it as a bait.

• To exclude the likelihood of survival of cockroaches that can leave the trap, you can place a poisoned bait in it. This may be a purchased substance or product from the refrigerator.
• It is better to use a small piece that does not go beyond the boundaries of the trap. Pieces should be small, but noticeable.

Catch a cockroach at home is a snap. To finally get rid of insects, you must use a set of tools: home or industrial traps, gels, sprays.
