Glue traps are ineffective. They can be used as an additional tool in a comprehensive fight. Slightly reduce numbers, but get rid of cockroaches completely not allowed.
Ksenia, Voronezh
We bought the Ecosniper electronic trap, because nothing helped. They paid a lot of money. We installed this box in the kitchen every night for a month. Caught gradually all. Acts! It can work on batteries, so it is placed in any convenient place. The only drawback is that with severe infection of the apartment several such devices are required, and this is a tidy sum.
Anton, Tver
A cockroach trap is a device that attracts insects with a scent. Kills with poison, sticky substance, current. Efficiency increases with the simultaneous use of several drugs of other forms - aerosols, sprays, solutions, dusts.
Electronic traps are a useless thing. Tried - kills, but not all. The Prussians have to fight long. Gel and insecticidal traps act much faster. They are much cheaper.
