WHAT IS A COCKROACH TRAP FLOOR DRAIN?

A cockroach trap floor drain, as the name suggests, is a three or two-component bathroom fitting that is fixed to the main drain frame of the floor drain, to prevent cockroaches and pests from entering the bathroom or any space through the grating top of the drain hole.

HOW DOES THE COCKROACH TRAP WORK?

The cockroach trap floor drains consist of an outer cup that has a jail-like structure, this is the first line of defence for the pests that try to crawl up the sewage into the bathroom. After this, there is an inner cup, that constantly holds water at all times. Even if the insects manage to climb up the outer cup they will never be able to cross the water barrier that the inner cup creates. Over the inner cup is the drain cover which is commonly known as the drain jail or the grating top that acts as a filter to sieve out waste like hair, dust, clothing threads, etc.
