TERRO T3206SR Non-Toxic Indoor Spider, Ant, Cockroach, Centipede, and Crawling Insect Trap - 12 Traps

I'm sitting comfortably in my vehicle, shoes off, in a teleconference when out of the vent pops a spider, a centimeter in size. I just about dropped the phone, then swung at it. The spider dropped to the floor by my feet but, I could not manage to hit the darn thing since it moved super fast so, I jump out of my vehicle, phone in hand while the other person on the line is still speaking.I had to drive home knowing that the tiny itsy bitsy spider could jump out once again! I tried running the heat in my vehicle on full blast hoping to force it out and when that didn't work I sought out other options and came across these. 3 days later, I snagged the spider.The trap is easy to use, safe, and designed well.

The media could not be loaded. These are great for trapping little bugs in your house. I cut them smaller and put them in the cupboards near the flower so you don’t get those bugs in your flower. Also put them in my plants. They work great. This is probably the 10th time I’ve bought them.

It does work. Placed them in various corners and trapped a bunch of spiders.

These traps are easy to set up & forget about them. They do a great job catching the little insects that crawl around. Easy maintenance too , just throw it away when it is full & put a new one down.

a bit more stickyness would be good. I saw roaches actually claw themselves off of these surfaces

Really good product for a slab home with spiders. and also Pill Bugs from outdoor landscaping with heavy mulch. The "rolly Polly" pill bugs have been really bad this year with heavy rains lasting weeks. I just cut out a single square. Place it at the corners of the doorway where they're entering. I'll turn them around on occasion so they fill up the trap. And then I'll replace the traps every week or two.For spiders, I'll place them along baseboards, behind appliances and furniture.I've gotten some really gnarly looking large spiders with these specific traps. When I have a basement, I have no problem with abundant spiders. They catch the bugs I'd rather not have in the house.When I have a 70-year-old slab townhouse in the brown recluse spider range?My inclination is to catch them before they make it upstairs.ALSO PERFECT DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR OTHER PESTS.In a garage, multiple attics, or basements, these are perfect for nabbing the occasional field mouse before it sets.up shop for the winter. Nobody wants Mice to nest in the walls or inside cars.I actually prefer the heavier plastic trays for diagnosing rodents. And you will need stronger traps for rats. But these are really nice backup for mice. (Like you really need these for something else. But if you get some ice, you're accomplishing that much more) I have caught at least one field mouse on these traps when placed behind my garage chest freezer. (House backs up to a wooded ravine. So it's always a possibility). If you find a mouse on these traps and it's still alive, simply dip the trap into the toilet, and drown the mouse. More humane than throwing a living mouse attached to a trap in the trash.ONLY NEGATIVE I can think of is that, these are attractive to birds.I had these placed very far back in the garage.And I've had 2 separate birds caught on one. So they must smell these just like the mice. I poured vegetable oil over the bird attached to the trap, which frees the bird from the sticky substance.. I let the bird fall off into a bed of ground cover.And then I got out the hose, and used the hose sprayer to drench the ground cover bed. hopefully giving the bird a chance to wash off the oil,.and hang out long enough to safely dry out and recover. Or at least giving it the last best humane option.

It works well. I bought it on sale. Thanks.

I'm in a house that's over 50 years old, very clean but with a small moisture issue in the basement that I just bought a pump dehumidifier for. Had a manual-dump dehumidifier for years before but it doesn't seem to remove enough moisture. I reference this as this is the only reason why I can see that I'd have an issue with spiders down there; it's not major, but there's enough (I can find about one a day during Spring) that it's a problem.So I put a half dozen of these in the spots I've seen them. They have caught some huge ones. Where these things are coming from is SO puzzling, as there are minimal ways to enter from the outside and most everything is off the floors on rollers/etc., mostly organized and as clean as a basement can be. In other words, few places for them to hide.Once I see something trapped on one of these things I use a paper towel to grab the sticky part and squash the catch as quickly as possible; I really don't like killing things in general, and I'm hoping that the spiders/silverfish/etc that get stuck on these die as quickly as possible, I don't want them struggling......Well...I saw a wolf spider caught on one one day. I had a horrible back issue and couldn't bend under the sink area to get to it immediately...The next day I could...BUT...THE WOLF SPIDER WAS GONE FROM THE TRAP.A medium sized one this time.I was absolutely shocked.These strips are kinda like those wax hair-removal strips. In fact, I assumed that's basically what they are, re-purposed.So, VERY sticky.I could NOT believe the spider was gone.I am the only one in the house. There is no other explanation except that it escaped the sticky part.I am continuing to use the strips with success, and they do seem to have reduced the problem by a solid 90% or so. Ended up catching at least a dozen wolf spiders, some very large (over a couple inches including their legs in a few instances...really horrifying things, even tho I understand they're beneficial in many ways. I can't tolerate them in my home).SO: it's a worthwhile product, but I'm checking on the strips frequently now and will make sure the catches are killed asap, also because apparently they can actually escape, which leads me to believe they're not dying quickly, which I'd much rather be the case.I'd ask the manufacturer if perhaps there's a way to help ensure they're killed when they get stuck, perhaps a natural food-based killer (like boric acid for ants, roaches, etc.) of some sort. Altho I'd rather not use anything toxic, I think in a case like this where it's so contained, it might make a good option for many of us to help ensure they don't escape, that they die quickly, and therefore completely effective.
