I have tried this sort of thing with poor results. If you look at
the actual figures reported in the article here, it is not hugely
encouraging. But I will try again and attend to trying to improve
a trap to suit the conditions here.
Or, as John Bokma writes on his blog: "We like to have geckos in the
house because their diet probably consist for a large part of juvenile
cockroaches, an insect we really don't want to have in the house but
is extremely hard to keep out."
Any geckos where you live?
There are lots of very small lizardy thngs in my garden, called
Skinks, but rarely see them in the house. They sure like ants.
They are not very big (pencil thick and half as long and I would
not think they would be a match for cockroaches. Have you ever
seen how huge some of those big black cockroaches are*?

* Have lost the url for where someone actually has beautifully
caught them and painted their backs? Saw it ages ago when looking
into this business of traps.
I did see just now:

(there is nice song that suddenly starts so turn speakers down if
you don't like surprises like this...)
