What attracts all roaches? food? what that work. Like some kind of sweet scenting "lure" it out? I know nothing about roaches except the ones that run around in the garage haha.

I do not know anything about the behavior of roaches, but this is what I do with crickets when they get out.

Because it is so darn expensive for store bought roach traps I bought a $5 roll of duct tape. I lay 4 or 5 pieces of the tape side-by-side overlapping and fold the edges over so that there is about 1/2" of no adhesive. I then place the pad along the wall, by heaters, fridge, and by my door to my apartment. Then on each pad I place a carrot to attract the cricket onto the pad. The folded edge helps catch the cricket because the duct tape is slippery and they will not get a hold with their feet and pull loose.

I have caught many crickets this way. The crickets are pretty predictable and will run along the edge of the wall and seek heat sources.

This could probably be applied to roaches as well.
