I came up with a roach reducer (rather than claiming that it really
eliminates them) accidentally. I poured some hot grease into a tin
can to let the grease cool and solidify before throwing it away. The
next day when I looked into the can, there were several roaches caught
in the grease. Apparently they were attracted by the smell, but when
they got into the grease they could not get back out. Just to
experiment I left the grease can out and within a few days it was
practically filled with roaches. Kind of the "greasy spoon"
equivalent of the "roach hotel."

An old and very effective method.

Another use for empty coffee cans.
