   I have always put long strips of masking tape out in all the corners,
with the sticky side up.  The roaches love to eat the glue, but get stuck 
to it, and can't move.  This causes them to die, and it works pretty well.
I usually can pick up one to two roaches per week in the dorm rooms here.
   Now if there was only something that did as well with rats....
