ABSTRACT:
A glue trap for trapping vermin, such as insects, rodents and the like. In particular, a glue trap for trapping cockroaches, having a design which significantly enhances the number of cockroaches which are caught. The glue trap is designed for use specifically in target areas such as corner locations and confined spaces which are regions frequented by cockroaches, and has a unique right angled corner portion and a top opening in the corner substantially above the glue surface. A three-dimensional trap with top and side openings is provided through which vermin may access the trap interior. The trap may include an attractant to entice cockroaches and provides a slippery surface and/or substantially smooth interior surfaces juxtaposed to the adhesive so that once a cockroach is caught on the adhesive it is unable to use either a surrounding surface or edge to pull itself free. The trap and packages of at least two traps which are easily split apart by a perforation line with or without a tear-away strip and/or bendable flaps, can be formed from an integral blank of foldable sheet material.
