Yes, as a matter of fact, I use to have one of those devices before I moved
from my APT. We had a major roach problem in the APT, so I hooked up this
little device in hopes that it would actually work. It never seemed to make
much differance, but when we moved, and unplugged the device (on a kitchen
counter next to the refridge) and picked it up, there were 1000s of roaches
under, in and behind the device. They made a nice little condo out of it!!


YUCK!! 

Beware!!!!
