HIGH ACTIVITY COCKROACH BAIT TRAYS

摘要

The present invention is drawn to a device and process for killing cockroaches, which employ: a receptable (11, 12) defining at least one opening (15, 16) dimensioned to permit entry of a cockroach; and an amount of contact cockroach toxicant (18) effective to kill at least one cockroach, and an amount of cockroach attractant (17) effective to lure an adult cockroach, both of which one retained in said receptable (11, 12) in a spatial configuration such that a cockroach must come into contact with the toxicant (18) in order to reach (i.e. get to, or arrive at) the attractant (17). The instant invention may combine high acitivity fast-acting contact toxicant(s) (18) with a cockroach attractant(s) (17), in a manner which overcomes the previously encountered problem of a loss of attraction due to the presence of the toxicant (18).
