Sticky traps are not a cure. But they are a great clue. They show where roaches walk and hide.

Put traps along walls, under the sink and behind the fridge. Roaches like to run along edges.

A few big roaches may be wanderers. Lots of tiny ones mean a nest is close by.

Write down the date and the spot. A quick photo helps us see what is going on.

Place traps where kids and pets cannot reach them.

Will sticky traps get rid of roaches?

No. They show where roaches are, and a plan is needed to solve it.

How often should I check?

Check every couple of days, and replace when full.

What do I do with the results?
