Catchmaster Spider & Insect Glue Trap - 4 Professional Strength Traps per Package

We live in South Florida where salamanders thrive.We had a large (or so it seemed to us) salamander in our apartment that found its way into the narrow space between our porch screen and our exterior storm glass doors. There he was trapped, but he strolled about as though he owned the place. Which I guess he did.We enjoy leaving open the exterior storm door the the interior door between the living room and the porch to enjoy the cross breeze. But we didn't want this critter to escape into our apartment where he would have many more places to hide and annoy us, perhaps attacking us from a hidden perch on top of the bookcase. I was willing to move him to the grass outside our apartment, but he refused to cooperate.I tried to catch him in that narrow space. Day after day he continued to elude me. He would stare at me with those beady eyes, taunting me. It was terrible.Finally, after several days of this mutual standoff, I ordered this trap as a desperate attempt to free us from this monster.I placed the trap in the narrow space where he sauntered.On the very next morning I found his cold lifeless body glued to the trap.Victory!Now once again our door is open and the lovely breezes waft through our domain. The stress of the alien invader is gone forever.If I haven't made it clear already, the product works! And I still have three more sheets of the stuff saved for any future intruders.Of course I was lucky in that the salamander was limited in where it could walk so it was easy to place the trap in his/her path. If the next one is loose in the apartment I will try to bait the trap with peanut butter or something.

This will be my third order within nearly 4 years, which means 12 traps have been sufficient to keep the basement quiet. I would love to include a photo of the 30+ crickets a single trap caught within the first four days... But that would be disgusting, and I’ll spare you the visual endorsement.I do not fold the traps or bait them with anything at all. Just peel the adhesive protector and leave them laying flat near a wall or doorway.Even after sitting around for 3-5 months, these traps stay sticky and keep on catching bugs. I live in an urban area In a 100-year-old 2100sf house with a year round, moist, dusty basement...and the traps work perfectly.As for reviewers who have claimed these traps “do nothing but collect dust”...? Those people must not have a true infestation of crickets, beetles, or centipedes.My basement is peaceful and bug-free once again. Repeat customer. Excellent product!

I work in a basement which attracts a ton of spiders, little and big. I got a bit tired of either shooing the small ones outside and killing the big ones if they didn't escape me first, so I decided to get some traps. After looking online for a couple hours, I decided upon this one. I like the fact that you can very easily fold the strip so that it turns into an open box, that way you can put it in the corner or somewhere without either stepping on it, or having a ton of dust attract to it, so I prefer to leave them folded. This way, too, you can't see the spiders (and other bugs) it catches unless you pick it up and look through it.Now, does it work? Well, it hasn't caught any of the big spiders I was hoping it would. I placed 4 of them throughout my basement and after a month, I looked at them all and found other little bugs and a couple small spiders, but no big ones like I had hoped. It still did manage to collect a lot of dust and hair, but my floors are vinyl and I don't have carpets to attract the hair and dust plus I do have 2 dogs that hang out in the basement often.Whether or not there's any correlation between what I'm about to say, I don't know, but since I've placed these traps down I have seen significantly less amount of spiders. I thought the trap had a pheromone which was supposed to attract spiders, so I was a little worried more spiders would be attracted to the basement since these traps were giving off pheromones, but it seems to have the opposite effect. While it hasn't caught the spiders I wanted it to, I'm seeing less of them in the basement since I've placed these down.Another minor gripe is that it seems like they could really include 1 or 2 more strips in the package and still make a good profit.

I had a recent increase of crickets in the basement, and figured it was time to start controlling them. I went with this specific product just because it was cheap and great to try out with just 4 traps. I laid all 4 down on the first night, and 2/4 traps have already caught 2 crickets each.3/4 traps were relatively easy to pull to set up, but one of the traps was stuck on pretty hard and required a bit more force to pull off. If the cricket population doesn't decrease in my basement, I will be happy to purchase this again and ones with greater quantity.

Really amazing little product. Inexpensive and catches a ton of bugs when you figure out where they need to be placed. These together with the pest control exterminator service I use generally means essentially NO bugs in the house (except when it’s super hot outside). Just need to replace them occasionally when they get so full of bugs that there doesn’t seem to be any room left for more. Amazing product.

In the 25 years of owning my home we have never had an issue with crickets. A herd of them recently took residence in my garage. I tried making a trap shown on u-tube but it did not catch anything. Then purchased 4 brands of sticky traps for crickets on amazon. After two weeks the traps only caught one cricket. I am now cricket free, so what worked? When I would hear them chirping I would go into the garage with a flash light, spot them crawling around, and them squish them with my shoe. took a couple days but 10 crickets later, no more crickets.
