. Composting garbage brings together lots of things roaches love, including food scraps and organic non-food materials like paper. Build a compost pile or use a composting bin to break down your trash into roach-attracting mulch. Composting means committing to regular pile maintenance, including turning and watering. Composting is subsequently the best choice for when you want to attract roaches every season or over an extended period of time. You can use the mulch from your compost pile to attract roaches to other areas, as well. Add mulch to your garden or organics waste bin to bring in the roaches. If maintaining a compost pile isn't for you, try keeping the lid off your garbage can. This leaves your garbage exposed. The scent will attract the roaches, and the feast of food scraps will keep them in the area for as long as supplies last. Cardboard is another household material that roaches love. Store old boxes, packaging supplies, and other cardboard material together. If you can, keep the cardboard in a damp space. This will make it especially appealing to roaches and other insects. Pizza boxes can be especially useful for attracting roaches, as these make use of both cardboard and food scents. Roaches have been known to be attracted to book bindings for the starches.
