Harris Roach Traps

No, these are primarily monitoring and detection devices. While they will capture individual roaches, they are best used to identify where activity is occurring or to confirm if a previous treatment was successful.

While the traps are pesticide-free and non-toxic, they use a sticky glue surface that can be messy or irritating if touched. It is best to place them in areas completely inaccessible to pets and children, such as behind appliances or deep under furniture.

Place the traps in dark, secluded areas where roaches typically travel, such as under sinks, behind refrigerators, or in the back of kitchen cabinets. Roaches prefer to scurry along walls, so positioning the trap flush against a baseboard often yields the best results.

You should replace the traps once the glue surface is full of insects or if the cardboard becomes damaged or dusty, which can reduce the adhesive's effectiveness. If you haven't caught anything after a few weeks, try moving them to a new location.

These traps do not require additional bait, as they rely on the roaches' natural tendency to explore dark, tight spaces. However, if you are not seeing results, you can place a small amount of food-based bait in the center of the trap to lure them in.
