Description
Our verdict: An easy way to find out how bad a cockroach problem is, and where it’s centred. Six baited traps catch roaches as they move around at night. The pattern of catches shows you where to put gel bait and spray. They won’t wipe out a colony on their own, but they’re the best monitoring tool for the money.
Best for: monitoring and catching roaches in kitchens and bathrooms | Pack: 6 | Use: indoors
What are ROSHIELD Cockroach Bait Traps?
They’re six bait stations with an attractant that draws cockroaches in, plus adhesive strips so you can stick them in place, on the side of a cupboard, behind the fridge or under the sink.
Because cockroaches are nocturnal and spend the day hidden, a few days of trap catches tells you far more than daytime sightings. Use the results to decide where to concentrate gel bait and spray.
How to use them properly
- Place traps in warm, dark spots near water: under sinks, behind and beside appliances, near the boiler and in cupboard corners.
- Fix them flat against walls and edges, where cockroaches travel.
- Check after 2–3 nights and note which traps catch the most.
- Treat the hotspots with gel bait and residual spray.
- Keep traps down to confirm when the problem has gone.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I put cockroach traps?
Behind the fridge and cooker, under the sink, near the boiler and in cupboard corners: anywhere warm, dark and close to water.
Do cockroach traps get rid of an infestation?
They catch some roaches, but their main value is showing you where the colony is so you can treat it with gel and spray.
How quickly will I catch cockroaches?
In an active infestation, usually within a night or two. Empty traps after a week suggest numbers are low.
Why do I see cockroaches when the heating comes on?
Warmth flushes them out of hiding. See why cockroaches show up when you turn the heating on.
