Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
