So I watched a video on youtube with a pretty effective SHB trap. The guy was showing how many beetles were in this trap. It basically looked like one of those ant or roach motel traps.... actually, here is the link to the exact trap I'm talking about....

I was just wondering if the normal roach stations you can pick up at any store would also work.... anyone ever tried?

probably, it's not so much the trap, it's whatever he puts in there to attract and kill them.
