Catchmaster Spider & Insect Glue Traps 45-Pk (15 Sheets), Adhesive Cockroach Killer Glue Boards, Cricket Sticky Traps, Indoor Roach Trap for Home, Garage & Shed, Pest Control for Home

Simple, Effective Bug “Monitoring” Traps That Actually Pull Their Weight I keep a stack of glue traps around the house/garage for those moments when you’re not sure if you have an actual pest problem… or you just want to confirm what’s going on without spraying chemicals everywhere. This 45-count pack has become my go-to for that job because it’s easy, clean, and surprisingly effective when you place them correctly. What I like most is the flexibility: you can lay them flat like a board, or fold them into a little tunnel to help keep dust off the sticky surface (especially useful in a garage, near the trash cans, or along baseboards where things get gritty). Once they’re down, they’re basically “set it and forget it” until you check them. No smell, no mess, no bait to deal with. In real use, these work best as both a trap and a monitor. Put a few along baseboards, behind the fridge, under sinks, near the garage door, behind a desk, or anywhere you suspect traffic. If there’s movement, you’ll know pretty quickly. I’ve caught a mix of small roaches/spiders/crickets depending on the season, and it’s nice being able to verify whether you’re dealing with a one-off hitchhiker or something more persistent. A few things to keep in mind: * Placement matters a lot. These aren’t magic “attractants” — they mostly catch what walks over them. Along walls and edges is where they shine. * In dusty areas, folding them into tunnels helps them last longer. * They’re not something you want out where pets can step on them. The glue is no joke, and you’ll have an annoying cleanup if a curious paw finds it first. * For larger pests (like mice), you’d want a bigger dedicated trap. These are more “bug-sized” workhorses. For the price per trap, this pack gives you a lot of coverage. I like having extras on hand so I can rotate them out and keep an eye on trouble spots without overthinking it. Bottom line: A practical, pesticide-free way to catch and monitor crawling insects—best used along baseboards and entry points. Great value in bulk, just be smart about placement (especially with pets) and don’t expect it to “lure” bugs from across the room.

Great value, catches ants and spiders so far

I got these traps after running out of Catchmaster 100i traps, which were a bit more expensive. While these are good at catching silverfish and other smaller bugs, they don't seem to be as effective in catching American cockroaches. Initially, I thought my other measures to repel cockroaches were working well, because I wasn't seeing them in the traps anymore, but once the weather started to get hot, I did find a few again outside of the traps. I suspect that they were able to overpower the adhesive, but I don't know for sure. I think these are probably fine traps for most people, but I would recommend the Catchmaster 100i instead if you want to catch American cockroaches. One other nice thing about those is that the "insect trap" wording isn't so big/conspicuous either.

I love these things. After purchasing an older home in the Midwest in October of 2024, we quickly found this home had an infestation of brown recluses that we didn’t discover until my wife was bitten. She ended up being fine, but we were still uneasy. Most online research states they are difficult to control professionally, and almost all remediation approaches include traps like these. So. I bought about a million of them and placed them everywhere. Attics, closets, bedrooms, basement, etc. I’ll be dammed these freaking spiders were everywhere. We had traps in the attic catch 3-5 the first night. You just place them along the wall, behind bed, behind furniture, etc. We caught maybe 40 the first couple of months. Then I replaced the traps and they have been far less prevalent. So now we might get 1 a month in the entire house. So I’m a huge fan and will use these forever. I’d think they would be ideal alongside exterior doors, kitchen baseboards, alongside garage doors. Just be mindful, they also catch lizards and anything else that is unwise enough to run through. Just keep in mind if you use it in a dusty area or have furry cats or dogs, I’d suspect they will lose their tack quicker. So just be mindful. They have no odor that I notice, and overall have been extremely effective. Will definitely buy again.

Deploy them before the insect season starts in April/May, and perhaps replace them once in the middle of summer. Three things to note: (1) Spiders with very thin legs can sometimes escape. (2) Avoid getting any glue on your hand. It's hard to clean if it gets on your phone. (3) Don't use the external sticker on any surface that will be hard to detach from.

They do seem to attract, collect, and thus kill insects of all kinds, but whatever you stick it to is ruined unless it’s glass, and it’s a bitch to get it off the glass……

Average Reviews: The average reviews for these traps are 5 stars and I must agree with that. Pros: • They are non-toxic • They are easy to use, easy to set and put together • Place them around the house and you will catch perhaps dozens of brown recluse spiders per trap • They work on any spider and make a great pest control • You get 30 traps that provide a great value for the money Cons: • You will see the traps in the home • Some people may feel “grossed out” picking the traps up to dispose of them • Pets will step on them if the trap is in the open Summation: These traps work great. I have caught dozens of brown recluse spiders in a single trap. They are non-toxic and safe to use around pets and children. Just place the traps on the floor along walls, in corners, under your bed and furniture. Brown recluse typically move along walls or obstacles like that so that is where you place a trap. They like dark places so that is where you put the traps along walls for best results. I have been bitten by a brown recluse spider in my bed and the bite hurt for months and it was the size of a Nerf football in shape and size on my side. My wife and daughter have been bitten as well over the years. We were all lucky and had no scars, just pain for 4-6 weeks. After the third bite I declared war on them and our home is full of traps now and no more brown recluse bites. I threw away 3 traps earlier today full of brown recluse so I went to get more traps for a picture since I did not want to dig to the bottom of my trash bin. As I looked at my first trap I saw a brown recluse that had not yet gotten into it! As I moved the trap he mad a run for it but he didn’t get far and ended up getting a whirlpool bath in my toilet. I did find a trap next to my bed and took a picture of that one. I change traps often and always at the end of winter in the entire house. Verdict If you have brown recluse spiders in your home you should have already placed these traps out! If not, do it now. These traps are safe and work great. You will see the results in them quickly. I highly recommend them. Purchase some now and they will be at your door in a few days.

I'm just a girl..... spiders are whatever, but have you seen a house centipede? These make it so I can be a strong independent woman who dont need no man. It's also probably prevented several late night heart attacks.
