roach motels
Bug death boxes
Roach motels are small enclosed traps for cockroaches, containing bait and a sticky surface that prevents escape.
The name comes from the advertising slogan "Roaches check in, but they don't check out," parodying motel slogans.
Figuratively, a roach motel is any situation easy to enter but difficult or impossible to leave: That contract is a roach motel—once you sign, you're stuck.
