Homemade Cockroach Catching Box

Take a piece of 220×150 (mm) cardboard.

The most important part of the capture box is the capture surface. Take a piece of plastic film, cut it to the same size as the bottom of the box, apply adhesive and spread it on the bottom of the box. The key to whether cockroaches can be caught lies in the adhesive. The adhesive has two functions: one is to introduce the cockroach into the box, and the other is to stick it firmly to the catching surface. Preparation of attractant: Mix 40% meat powder, 50% flour, and 10% bean cake. The total amount is about 20 grams. Mix well and set aside. The adhesive is a mixture of 20 grams of rosin and 10 grams of rapeseed oil. After heating to a gelatinous state, mix the attractant and adhesive and stir evenly to make an adhesive.

Evenly apply the above-mentioned paste on the catching surface lined with plastic film, then fold it inward according to the originally drawn dotted line, and finally insert the tongue piece b into the notch a. Inside.

Due to the non-drying properties of the rosin and rapeseed oil mixture, the bait can be kept sticky for up to a week. Place the trap box in a place where cockroaches are infested. Because the box is dark and contains the bait that cockroaches like, cockroaches will crawl into the box to compete for the bait and get stuck to it. After it is full, the carton can be flattened and discarded, or the plastic film can be removed and the plastic film coated with bait can be replaced so that the box can be reused.

If the size of the trap box is enlarged and the composition of the adhesive is slightly adjusted, the paper mousetrap can be made by thickening the coating
