Abstract
An insect trap, particularly for roaches. The insect trap consists of a standard normally fluid containing container. An insect trap is inserted into an opening of the container. The insect trap is made of a cylindrical clear plastic container and has a multiplicity of holes in its wall to enhance the spread of the fumes of the bait that is placed into the trap. The bottom of the cylindrical trap is slanted and a hinged flap is placed over the open end of the cylindrical trap. The flap is hinged at one side of the edge of the opening and is biased into a closed position so that any insects within the trap can exit at the lower end but cannot return to escape from the container.
