Why?

These glue traps by Catchmaster are specifically designed to catch spiders in the home. They can either be laid flat or folded to help protect children and pets from getting stuck to them.

They are non-toxic and safe to use in any room. These specialty traps are made of 100 percent biodegradable material, so they won't harm the environment.

Terro spider traps, or glue boards, are essentially the same as the Trapper ones. The design is a little bit different though. The glue smells different, but they're basically the same thing and you use them the same way.

I'm a little frustrated when I hear people complaining about how glue boards (from any manufacturer) don't work or don't catch anything.

Yes, they do. But correct placement is the key.

If you're having trouble catching anything in your traps, go back up and re-evaluate your strategy especially in determining the key places to place the boards/strips.

Terro did change the fold pattern on their traps for some reason. The new design is a bit awkward, but once you get used to it there won't be any problems.

We're also not fond of it because there are only 16 traps in the box. Sticky boards are cheap to manufacture. They should ship them bythe gross (144).

Baited glue boards for spiders are an interesting innovation.

Depending on the spider in question, they might work fairly well. That certainly seems to be the case with brown recluse spiders.

Brown recluses get their name from their appearance (they're brown) and their habits (they're very reclusive and like to hide) which makes killing them with standard insecticides a real problem.

一个“农场”在我们陷入困境的你h had several houses and one of them was eaten up with brown recluses. Three of us from our pest control company made over a dozen trips out there between us before we finally got them under control.

It was a huge headache, so a baited glue board that draws them out of hiding is a nice idea. We wish we had these before when we were facing that problem.

现在,陪审团还在多好they work but we're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's too bad they come in such small quantities though.

There is, however, the question ofbait aversiondeveloping. Bait aversion develops when a small percentage of a given insect population has an inherent, natural genetic aversion to the bait being used.

They become the ones most likely to survive and pass on their genes to their progeny, including their bait aversion. Eventually, the population will be composed primarily of bait averse individuals and the bait will no longer work.

JT Eaton Spider Traps are the gold standard for quality and reliability. Each trap contains a pheromone attractant to lure most species of spiders. With its strong adhesive glue, none will ever escape.

Set some out in storage rooms, basements, or wherever you see spider activity. You can either use them flattened for wider coverage or fold them into a tent for protection from moisture and debris.

They hold up well in all sorts of climate conditions, and they are guaranteed to last longer than other leading brands.

These have a brown plastic shell on them instead of cardboard like the rest of the glue traps we reviewed. The dimensions are 2.3" x 2.6" x 10.5" and double-sided so it can be flipped over once the bottom is full of spiders.

One rather innovative design feature is that instead of a continuous layer of glue, it has hundreds of dots of glue along the top and bottom.

This allows spiders to walk into the trap without always getting stuck at the edges. This also lets more spiders (and other insects) to make it inside the trap as well.

In theory, it would also let some spiders escape by being able to walk through or around the dots like whatIndiana Jonesdid in theRaiders of the Lost Arkgolden idol scene.

The double-sided feature helps make up for the relatively high cost of these glue traps, and the tighter enclosed area creates a darkened space that is attractive to spiders like the brown recluse.

More plastic to throw away and/or recycle isn't much fun though. Thick cardboard would work just as well and would be better for the environment.
