How should cockroach pheromone traps be placed?

Pheromone traps for cockroaches are designed to attract these pests using chemical signals that mimic the pheromones released by cockroaches. To maximize their effectiveness, these traps should be placed similarly to sticky traps, allowing them to catch the targeted pests effectively. Sticky traps are typically positioned near areas where cockroaches are likely to travel, such as along walls, edges, or areas where signs of infestation are noted.

This approach ensures that the traps are in the regular flight or movement path of the cockroaches, increasing the likelihood of attracting them. Consequently, placing pheromone traps in a manner akin to sticky traps enhances their ability to monitor and control cockroach populations effectively.

While other placement methods, such as at ceiling level or only in kitchens, limit their effectiveness, and focusing placement only in high traffic areas may not encompass the entire area where cockroaches may roam, placing them similarly to sticky traps provides a comprehensive strategy for addressing potential infestations.
