Crack the egg into a small bowl, using mostly the yolk with a little bit of white.
The egg’s smell acts as an attractant for cockroaches.
2. Add Sugar
Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar into the egg yolk.
The sweetness works as bait, drawing cockroaches toward the trap.
3. Add Baking Soda
Stir in 2 tablespoons of baking soda thoroughly.
This ingredient is critical: when ingested by cockroaches, it reacts with their stomach acid, producing gas that kills them.
4. Place the Trap
Put the bowl in areas where cockroach activity is common, such as under the sink, behind the fridge, or in dark corners of the kitchen.
5. Monitor and Replace
Check the trap daily and replace the mixture every 2–3 days to keep it fresh and effective.
