Baits are popular because of their simplicity and overall effectiveness. In general, they have been so successful because of three things: 

1. Less preparation is needed - customers no longer must empty their cabinets for a “traditional” chemical treatment. 

2. Baits can be simply placed in cracks & crevices where cockroaches live. 

3. Bait materials are highly attractive and effective against cockroaches.
