an insect bait selected from one of a gel bait and a granular bait, the insect bait includes a weight of between approximately ¼ gram to approximately 5 grams; and
an edible wrapper of rice paper rolled about the insect bait to form a bait roll-up having a cylindrical straw shape for the cockroaches, the rolled edible wrapper for protecting and preserving the insect bait to maintain moisture content to the insect bait until eaten by the cockroaches, the bait roll-up having a length consisting of between approximately 4 cm to approximately 8 cm in length, and a diameter consisting of between approximately 0.25 cm to approximately 1.5 cm; and
a bittering agent added to bait roll-up, the bittering agent selected from the group consisting of Denatonium, Sucrose octaacetate, Quercetin, Brucine, and Qassin, wherein the bait roll-up increases mortality rate for killing the cockroaches from using the insect bait without the edible wrapper.
