ABSTRACT:
A roach trap structured for capturing one or more roaches as a piece of bait is being consumed within the trap. A hinged lid is held in an open position by interconnection to or against the bait, which is rigid and preferably a peanut half. The bait is held in position within a preferably tapered bait aperture formed in an interior partition by either a rod pivotally connected to the lid and pressing against the bait with the distal end of the rod or a length of flexible string connected at one end to the lid and tied around and pulling against the bait at the other end thereof. Because the lid will only drop to a closed position after a portion of the bait has been consumed and finally passes through the bait aperture, the device will capture many roaches at a time which have entered to eat the bait. The device is also transparent for easy viewing of captured prey.
