  • Container for capturing insects
    Patent number: 4696127
    Abstract: A roach trap formed in the shape of a truncated pyramid having a relatively flat top surface has a concavity formed in the top surface. A pair of parallel slits extend across the concavity defining a narrow strip. The strip can be pushed outward to form a convex shape so that the slits are spread to create entranceways into the trap. The trap is closed by pushing the strip downward to its original concave shape thus providing a closeable trap which can be disposed of without having an opening allowing trapped roaches to escape.
