Abstract: This study was conducted to compare the types of bait in plastic bottled traps for trapping cockroaches and to compare the types of bait in plastic bottled traps for various types of cockroach traps In the houses of the people of Puranawat community, Thawi Watthana District, Bangkok. In the study, five types of bait that attracted cockroaches including dog chow, cat chow, potato chip, tapioca pellet, and granulated milk were used for the test in 0.5-liter plastic bottled traps. A number of trapped cockroaches were counted and recorded daily for 3 consecutive days. Results of bait test in cockroach trap showed that the cockroaches were caught at an average of 4.16 ± 0.12 per trap per day. dog chow can trap cockroaches at an average of 5.47 ± 0.05 per trap per day, followed by the cat chow at an average of 5.16 ± 0.13 per trap per day and followed by potato chip and tapioca pellet and granulated milk. The number of cockroaches caught was at the average 4.12 ± 0.06, 3.07 ± 0.14 and 2.96 ± 0.21 per trap per day, respectively. Analysis of the efficiency of baits, it was found that the of dog chow and cat chow were not different in the trapping of cockroaches, but both types of bait were significantly effective in using for trapping the cockroach from other types of baits (P <0.05). In addition, it was found that the potato chip resulted in the significantly higher trapped cockroach than tapioca pellet and granulated milk (P <0.05). In addition, the results of the comparison of types of cockroaches that can be caught. It was found that American cockroaches (72.7%) were significantly higher than that of German cockroaches (27.3%) with statistically significant (p <0.05). When considered types of bait, the dog chow can be used to trap American cockroaches (80.2 %) more than other types of bait.
