Simple Dripping Cockroach Trap

p. 115 · Read in the full issue

If, like most residents in the tropics, you are plagued by cockroaches, there is no need to spend money on ex pensive traps and in secticides. An empty jar and some dripping will clear most of the pests from your house.

Simply rub some dripping round the in side neck of the jar as shown and leave the jar in a place fre quented by cockroaches.

Next morning your jar will probably be full of cockroaches as pictured above. The victims can be destroyed by pour ing on boiling water.
