Bell wire is a twisted pair of plastic coated usually solid copper wire of
about 18 or 20 gauge for low voltage use. At one time it was a standard
hardware store item provided for hooking up a door bell. One needed to run
the wires from the battery or transformer and bell to the button at the
door.
Wired doorbells, and the bell wire to hook them up, have faded from the
shelves...

It's "speaker wire" over here, too. I've never heard the term "Bell wire"
before.
Do you really fish for roaches in the UK?
