Roachsmith Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have some strange roaches outside my work and I was hoping to collect a few live ones so I can figure out what they are. I found this homemade roach trap and it sounds like it may be worth a try. I haven't had time to set it up yet but I thought I would share the link with you all Live Roach Trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsc Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for the link- I should try to give it a try also...we have a bunch of cool roaches running around Texas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Ditto- I will try it also! Though I have tried leaving out a 5 gallon bucket with mulch in the bottom, a fresh apple core, and Vaseline on the top few inches. I have found Periplaneta sp. in the bucket, but a couple of days later also found a couple of small, fat spiders..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've caught a few roaches in my back yard with that trap. Just set it in a dark place where you know there are roaches and collect it in a couple days. I've still got the Oriental roach that I caught. I had an American in there too, but I wasn't being as careful as I shouldve been when removing old food and he escaped.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
