Abstract: Inexpensive, disposable pest traps for insects of all types including roaches, and for small animals such as mice and rats, are described which comprise an elongated tubular housing composed of a central tube and two end tubes assembled in axially concentric telescoped relation, the central portion of said housing being internally coated with an adhesive means for trapping said pests. The housing or a portion thereof may be sufficiently transparent or translucent to permit visual determination of whether or not the trap contains a pest or pests; said traps being disposed of as garbage or trash after use.
