         Application 09/175,570                                                      


              1.  An adhesive roach trap comprising:                                 
              a first horizontal planar base member for supporting a                 
         plurality of adhesive roach traps;                                          

              a plurality of pairs of stanchions formed on the first                 
         horizontal planar member, each pair of the plurality of pairs               
         of                                                                          
         stanchions defining a plurality of horizontally adjacent                    
         spaces for accepting a corresponding plurality of adhesive                  
         roach traps placed between adjacent pairs of the plurality of               
         stanchions, the plurality of adhesive roach traps being placed              
         on the first horizontal planar member, horizontally adjacent                
         to one another so as to form a continuous linear horizontal                 
         array of horizontally adjacent adhesive roach traps; and                    
              a plurality of adhesive roach traps, each of the                       
         plurality of adhesive roach traps being slidably placed                     
         between adjacent pairs of the plurality of stanchions so as to              
         form a continuous linear array of horizontally adjacent                     
         adhesive roach traps, each adhesive roach trap being located                
         to one horizontal adjacent side of an adjacent adhesive roach               
         trap.
