ABSTRACT:
A trap for capturing insects and other vermin, such as cockroaches, including a baited container having an opening at the top provided with a vertically arranged smooth-walled tube, which can be oiled to make it more difficult for the vermin to escape. A retaining apparatus can be provided allowing the entrance, but not the exit, of insects. The retaining apparatus can be a flexible ring which has a plurality of interleaving, flexible wires pointing conically into the interior of the container. Insects can push aside the wires in one direction to enter the container, but are prevented from escaping from the interleaved wires. Alternatively, the retaining apparatus can consist of two members movably biased together at one end such as to allow easy separation of the two members by a subject insect or vermin between the two members. Once separated, the members provide entrance to the container. Separation and opening of the members from within the container is made difficult by the bias of the members and necessity of the subject grasping both members to effect separation.
