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.
