Abstract
This invention relates to gravity operated roach traps in general, and more specifically to a two piece molded roach trap having an improved rectangular funnel design, which produces a steeply angled funnel surface, having an enlarged opening to insure that the roach will be deposited directly into the trap receptacle and will not be able to use the opposing wall surfaces to impede or frustrate its descent into the receptacle. In addition, the funnel is also provided with a recess on at least one of its faces, for retaining a lure or attractant to induce a roach to enter the funnel.
