*We recommend placement of several cockroach traps to be installed around the vicinity of the activity; this allows the user to understand the size of the infestation so that the necessary control treatment can be undertaken. 

Designed specifically for the professional UK market, this product contains a powerful attractant bait for enticing a wide range of cockroaches. The trap contains a sticky glue surface that prevents roaches from leaving after entering; this reduces the population and helps to prevent reproduction. However, they should not be considered the sole method of control, especially in areas of high populations and instead should be used in conjunction with insecticides and gel baits.

The trap requires a tablet lure (included) to be added to the central part of the trap; this is considered a better alternative to impregnated glue as it entices the cockroaches to enter into the central section of the trap rather than the outer perimeter.

The Entopest cockroach trap will work with all species considered a pest, including Oriental cockroaches (Blatta orientalis) and German cockroaches (Blattella germanica); the main species encountered within the UK.

How to use the Entopest Cockroach Traps

Users must understand the limitations of cockroach traps; whilst being an excellent method to control emerging infestations; they are unlikely to remove established ones. The main purpose of the trap should be prevention and monitoring. Entopest cockroach traps are highly recommended with other treatment methods such as insecticide sprays or gel baits to help locate activity.

For best results, traps should be placed within areas of activity, and when possible, within enclosed environments that cockroaches are known to live, such as within dark, moist areas. The obvious locations, such as within kitchens, should be the main target area. Still, users should also target other areas within the fabric of a building, including the airing cupboard and cellar. Cockroaches are particularly active at the back of fridge freezers and other electrical items due to the dark warm, and humid conditions created.

Due to the low-profile design of the trap, they can be placed directly in voids and other areas associated with cockroaches; they should not be placed in open light areas unless the infestation is significant and the source can not be found. Additionally, it is unlikely that cockroaches will enter open spaces, so keeping the traps within voids and close to wall/floor junctions will result in a better capture rate.

If the treatment area is within shared accommodation such as flats, we highly recommend placing traps in all locations; this may require assistance from a building manager or other flat owners. Without identifying all areas of activity, users may encounter consistent activity from remote ecosystems, a common issue that can be hard to control.

The rear of the trap contains an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) record chart. This is designed mainly for multiple professional users; it is a handy chart to record activity and inspection dates throughout the trapping period.
