5-gallon bucket trap. Make it yourself, or get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Original-Roll..._&dpSrc=detail
Smear with peanut butter, add a few inches of water, and it will kill them all in short order.

water bucket is nice, i used it before, but didn't have any success. I still like that electronic zapper...
Sometimes they used to lick the peanut butter off the trigger of my snap traps, without setting the trap off.
Now I tie a piece of string or yarn to the trigger and smear the peanut butter into that.
Have not had a cleaned trigger since.
I use gloves also.
Just added PB to my traps. We have been getting little bugs similar to rolly-pollies that eat the shit out of it off the trap in just a day or two. I've been spraying and smashing them.
Sealed up the garage super tight and so far nothing in the house. Before sealing the garage I was getting multiple a day. Now const. nearby and got me some 5 gallon bucket redneck traps set up outside. I added oil so it wouldn't freeze. My dog has caught and killed several. No cats for us.

Fortunately those little suckers don’t seem to get into my house. The garage is a different story. The wife told me about a month ago that she saw one out there. Set out some traps and I think I’ve gotten about six so far. My wife saw me using peanut butter for bait and told me I should use cheese instead. About three confirmed kills later I asked her if she still thought the peanut butter wouldn’t work. Even she couldn’t argue with the results.
