Vulgaris Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Hi all Am at a hotel where I have a cage of crickets, and a bag of fishflakes / oatmeal to feed them. I have the feed in a small plastic baggy, and today I picked it up and it started spilling out_ there were little tiny chew holes in it! It has to be either roaches (I have seen the occasional roach in past years at this hotel) or mice (never seen a mouse here at all). The roaches here are very secretive; they are around, but even when I look I can never see one I would like to set out a trap to catch some live ones. Anyone have any simple ideas on how to make one? I don't want any glue things or anything. I want to rig something up where they can get in but not back out Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psydeus565 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Fish trap! I'd think something like this might hold them for a little while... provided you had a fine mesh or something around. Not sure though... I know they are crafty. Something simple like this design: http://img.alibaba.com/photo/204917676/fish_trap.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Get a mouse trap. Roaches don't chew holes in plastic bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Here's a good trap! I've tried it out once, but due to rain it didn't work. ): http://www.k12.hi.us/~rkubota/digiphoto/cockroach/roach.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Zephyr, I was just about to post that same link. haha. I've used that trap with pretty good success in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
