Bed bugs cannot jump or fly and move around only by crawling. Our Bed Bug Blockers are designed with this in mind, using a textured exterior surface to allow bed bugs to easily climb in and a slippery interior reservoir to prevent bed bugs from climbing out. Bed bugs are attracted by the carbon dioxide that humans and animals emit as they sleep at night. Ensure your Bed Bug Blockers are the only path bed bugs can travel through in order to attempt to reach your mattress.
Our traps are primarily designed to catch bed bugs climbing up and down your bed posts. However, the traps can also be used on the legs of sofas, chairs, dressers, drawers, and other furniture. Bed bugs are attracted by carbon dioxide, and, as a result, the traps are typically most effective when placed beneath the legs of beds and furniture occupied by humans while they are sleeping.
We offer our bed bug interceptors in two sizes. Our “Pro” circular traps have an interior diameter (where the furniture leg is placed) of 4 inches. Our larger “XL” rectangular traps have interior dimensions of 7 inches by 5 inches. Both traps have a height of approximately 1 inch.

If you purchase our products on another online marketplace such as Amazon, you may need to specify that you would like them to ship your order in discreet packaging during the checkout process.
No, our traps are designed to trap bed bugs without the need for any added substances or powders. However, some customers have found success adding small amounts of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder or soapy water to the moat of the trap. However, when adding substances to the traps, it is important to ensure it is done in a very small quantity and only at the bottom of the well in order to avoid creating a means by which trapped bugs may crawl out of the trap.
We recommend inspecting the interceptors at least weekly. Even if there are no bed bugs in the traps, other debris such as lint and dust can accumulate which can provide bed bugs traction to climb out.
If evidence of bed bugs is detected, empty contents into a tightly sealed plastic bag. Ensure the plastic bag is free of tears and holes and dispose of immediately in a trash bin outside your home. See the FAQ below about washing and reusing the traps.
Bed bug interceptors are used as both a pre-treatment detection method and a post-treatment monitoring tool. We recommend that you place bed bug interceptors on your furniture legs at the first sign of a possible infestation. They should remain in use post-treatment for up to 3 months to ensure all bed bugs are eliminated and there isn’t a resurgence.

If you have an active bed bug infestation, most likely yes. While EcoPest bed bug treatment products provide great solutions for treating early/minor infestations and identifying larger infestations, the most effective way to get rid of a bed bug infestation is to contact pest control professionals. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate, and it is important that you contact a reputable extermination company with specialized bed bug experience as soon as you suspect your bed bug infestation is growing out of control. EcoPest Supply partners with top-rated bed bug exterminating companies across the United States. To see if we have a preferred provider in your area, click here and enter your zip code.
There are a number of pesticides as well as natural sprays that kill bed bugs. While these methods may eliminate visible bed bugs, they aren’t as effective at killing bed bugs that remain hidden in furniture, walls and other common hiding spots. Heat treatment is an effective eradication method that will kill bed bugs that are not visible.
Bed bug treatments will vary widely by size of the infestation, location of the infestation, and preferences of the pest control company and customer. Effective bed bug treatment plans involve a combination of tools all the way from initial inspection to complete eradication. We recommend using EcoPest Supply’s bed bug treatment products as the first step in your treatment plan in order to identify the presence of bed bugs and the severity of your infestation.
Exterminators typically have a multi-step approach to treating any bed bug infestation. This begins with an inspection to determine the severity of the infestation and to plan the treatment protocol accordingly. Exterminators will use a combination of treatments including: heat treatment, vacuuming, installing encasements, placing traps and interceptors under and around furniture legs, and using insecticide treatments.
The severity of the infestation is the primary determinant in how long it will take to eliminate an infestation. EcoPest Supply treatment products will begin adding a layer of protection to your family and your furniture immediately. This will help you identify whether you have an active bed bug infestation and the severity of an infestation. If professional treatment services are needed, at least two treatments over a minimum of a few weeks are typically required to eliminate bed bugs. However, larger infestations can take numerous follow-up treatments over the course of multiple months.
Bed bugs are known to hide in a variety of places, typically around their food source (namely, sleeping humans or other sources of carbon dioxide). This being the case, bed bugs are most commonly found in and around:
- Mattresses
- Box springs
- Bed frames
- Head boards
- Folds of curtains
- Seams of furniture
- Electrical outlets and receptacles
- Clothing drawers
- Against baseboards
Bed bugs do not target any specific region of the human body but rather are known to bite everywhere and anywhere they can. Bed bugs feed on the blood of both humans and animals and are attracted to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit as we breathe at night.
Yes, bed bugs are quite adaptable pests and can tolerate cold temperatures. Unlike other pests that are more common in some seasons vs. others, bed bugs thrive in all environments as long as they have a blood meal close by.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and find their way into homes in a number of ways. The most common two ways bed bugs make their way into homes are (1) by traveling on used furniture that is infested, purchased on the secondary market, and brought into homes, and (2) by traveling in luggage or on clothing that picked up bed bugs in hotels or via public transportation. For more information on how people get bed bugs, visit the article linked here.
There are a number of spray or aerosol products that are capable of killing individual bed bugs instantly on contact. Unfortunately, however, there is no easy way to immediately eliminate an entire bed bug infestation.
Bed bugs are nocturnal pests so they are most active at night. They are also quite small so it is not easy to visually spot bed bugs to confirm an infestation. However, some common signs of bed bugs include: skin sheddings, bed bug eggs, fecal spots on bedding and mattresses, and small blood stains on sheets and clothing.
We recommend using a combination of products and solutions for the identification and treatment of bed bugs:
- Bed bug interceptor traps
- Bed bug glue traps
- Bed bug sprays
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder
- Mattress encasements
- Pillow encasements
- Laundry additive
- Professional treatment services
Yes, sticky traps can be effective for trapping flies. These traps use a sticky adhesive to capture and immobilize flies when they land on the trap. Adhesive sticky traps work by exploiting the natural behavior of flies. Flies are attracted to light and odors, and they tend to land on surfaces to rest or feed. When a fly lands on an adhesive glue trap, it becomes stuck to the adhesive, preventing it from flying away. Sticky fly traps are useful for controlling fly infestations in indoor environments such as homes, offices, and commercial spaces. They can also be effective in outdoor settings, such as gardens or farms, to capture adult flies before they lay eggs and reproduce.
Flies are attracted to sticky traps by a combination of factors, including visual cues and odors. Visual cues: Many sticky fly traps are designed with bright colors, such as yellow or blue, that are attractive to flies. Flies are also attracted to patterns and shapes that resemble fruits or other food sources. Odors: Some sticky traps are scented to attract flies. These scents may mimic the odors of food or other attractive substances to lure flies to the trap. For example, some fly paper traps are infused with attractants like pheromones or vinegar to attract specific types of flies. In addition to these attractants, flies are also drawn to areas where there is food or decaying organic matter. If you're using sticky traps to control fly populations, it's important to place them near areas where flies are likely to be present, such as near garbage cans or in areas where food is prepared or stored. Regular sanitation and cleanliness can also help reduce the attractiveness of these areas to flies and other pests.
Keeping flies away permanently can be challenging, as these pests are attracted to a variety of factors, including food, moisture, and warmth. However, there are some steps you can take to help prevent flies from infesting your home or property:
- Keep your environment clean: Flies are attracted to decaying organic matter, so it's important to keep your environment clean and free of food scraps and garbage. Dispose of food waste promptly, and keep your trash cans covered.
- Eliminate standing water: Flies are also attracted to standing water, so it's important to eliminate any sources of standing water in and around your home. Fix leaky pipes and drains, and remove any containers or objects that could collect rainwater.
- Seal cracks and gaps: Flies can enter your home through cracks and gaps in doors, windows, and walls. Seal these openings with weatherstripping or caulk to keep flies out.
- Use screens: Install screens on your windows and doors to prevent flies from entering your home while still allowing fresh air to circulate.
To get rid of flies inside your house, a combination of the following methods can be very effective:
- Use a fly swatter: A fly swatter can be an effective way to physically remove flies from your home. Simply swat the fly with the swatter when it lands on a surface.
- Use sticky traps: Sticky traps can be placed around your home to capture flies when they land on the trap. Place the traps in areas where flies are most active, such as near windows or doors.
- Use a vacuum cleaner: A vacuum cleaner can be used to suck up flies that are flying around your home. Empty the vacuum bag or canister frequently to prevent the flies from escaping.
- Use a fly repellent: There are many natural and chemical-based fly repellents available that can be sprayed around your home to repel flies. Look for products that contain essential oils like citronella, lavender, or peppermint, or use a commercial fly repellent.
Generally, our Sticky Fly Traps can last for up to a few months without losing their effectiveness. However, the traps will become less effective as the surface becomes covered with flies, dust, lint or other debris. We recommend customers monitor their traps on a weekly basis and replace them once the majority of the trap’s surface area is covered.
Yes, sticky fly traps can be placed indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor areas that are common for fly activity include: kitchens or other locations where food is present, areas around windows, and by trash bins. It is recommended that fly traps be placed where the most fly activity is noticed.
Adhesive fly traps are effective against a wide range of flying insects. These traps are used in both indoor and outdoor settings to trap insects including: fruit flies, fungus gnats, aphids, mosquitoes, leafminers, blowflies, thrips, moths, and more.
While sticky fly traps can help reduce the number of flies in your home or property, they may not eliminate the problem entirely, especially if the source of the fly infestation is not addressed. Additionally, sticky fly traps are highly effective with smaller flying insects such as gnats and fruit flies, but are not as effective against larger house flies that sometimes have the strength to escape the adhesive.
The best place to put a sticky fly trap is in an area where flies are most active. Here are some specific locations to consider:
- Near windows and doors: Flies are often attracted to light, so placing a sticky fly trap near a window or door can be an effective way to capture them as they try to enter or exit your home.
- In the kitchen: Flies are attracted to food and moisture, so placing a sticky fly trap near the kitchen can help capture any flies that are attracted to food scraps or standing water.
- Near garbage cans: Garbage cans are a common breeding ground for flies, so placing a sticky fly trap near your garbage cans can help capture any flies that are attracted to decaying organic matter.
- In the bathroom: Flies are attracted to moisture, so placing a sticky fly trap near the bathroom can help capture any flies that are attracted to standing water or damp surfaces.
- In areas with pet food or waste: Pet food and waste can also attract flies, so placing a sticky fly trap near areas where your pets eat or use the bathroom can help capture any flies that are attracted to these areas.
This depends on the level of the fly infestation and therefore, how quickly the trap’s surface area gets covered. In homes with low to moderate infestations, the traps can last for weeks or even months without needing to be replaced. However, in highly infested areas, the adhesive traps can become completely filled with flies within a matter of days and need to be replaced frequently.
Glue traps are effective at catching cockroaches, including American and German cockroaches. The traps work by using a sticky adhesive to trap the cockroach when it walks over the trap. Our adhesive roach traps contain a subtle, all-natural cherry juice scent which acts as an attractant to increase the effectiveness of the sticky trap.
EcoPest Supply’s roach glue traps are not poisonous and contain no chemicals or pesticides. Our roach traps are made with strong adhesive glue and contain a natural cherry juice scent to help attract roaches to the traps. There are other brands of roach glue traps that contain chemicals and pesticides. When deciding on which traps to purchase, it is important to read the labels to ensure you are aware of the kind of trap you are purchasing. If you have pets or young kids, it is advised that you use roach glue traps that do not contain chemicals or pesticides.
It is important to place the traps in areas where the cockroaches are likely to travel or hide. Such locations include:
- Along walls: Cockroaches often travel along walls, so placing traps in this location can be effective. Place the trap against the wall where you have seen cockroaches or in areas where you suspect they may be hiding, such as behind furniture or appliances.
- In dark, moist areas: Cockroaches prefer dark and moist environments, such as under sinks, in cabinets, or in basements. Place traps in these areas to catch any cockroaches that may be hiding there.
- Near food and water sources: Cockroaches need access to food and water to survive, so placing traps near these sources can be effective. Place traps near pet food dishes, in the kitchen, or near any leaks or sources of standing water.
- In high-traffic areas: If you're not sure where to place the traps, try placing them in areas where you see the most cockroach activity, such as near entryways or in hallways.
Getting rid of roaches completely can be a challenging task as they are resilient pests that can adapt quickly to various conditions. However, with consistent efforts and a combination of different methods, it is possible to significantly reduce their population and control their infestation. Roaches thrive in dirty and cluttered environments, so keeping your home clean and free of food debris, crumbs, and garbage is essential. Wipe down surfaces, sweep and vacuum regularly, and take out the trash frequently.
Cockroaches are active year-round in warmer climates, but their activity level can be influenced by seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. In cooler climates, cockroaches may be more active during the warmer months when temperatures are more favorable for their survival. In general, cockroaches are most active at night and are known to be more active in warm and humid conditions. They are also attracted to areas with food and water sources, so activity may be more pronounced in areas where these resources are readily available.
Professional pest control services have a range of methods and techniques to get rid of roaches, and their approach may vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the type of roach species present. Some common methods that professionals may use include:
- Inspection: A professional pest control service will conduct a thorough inspection of your home to determine the extent of the infestation and identify the type of roach species present.
- Baits and traps: Professionals often use baits and traps to lure and kill roaches. They may use different types of baits, such as gel or granular bait, depending on the species of roach and the location of the infestation.
- Insecticides: Professional pest control services may use insecticides to kill roaches. These may be applied as sprays, dusts, or aerosols, and are often targeted to specific areas where roaches are likely to hide or travel.
- Growth regulators: Professionals may use growth regulators to disrupt the roach's life cycle, preventing them from reproducing and controlling the population.
- Fumigation: In severe cases, fumigation may be necessary. This involves sealing the area and using a gas to kill roaches and their eggs.
It's important to note that professional pest control services should be licensed and follow safety regulations when using chemicals and other methods to control roaches. To see if we have a preferred provider in your area, click here and enter your zip code.
Roach traps are a highly effective method for detecting, eliminating and monitoring cockroach infestations. However, for severe infestations, roach glue traps should be used in conjunction with other methods for an integrated approach to control roach populations.
Roaches are known to be highly adaptable and resilient pests, but their level of intelligence is limited. While they can learn to associate certain smells or sights with danger or food, they are not capable of complex problem-solving or cognitive reasoning. To increase the effectiveness of roach traps, it's important to place them in areas where roaches are likely to hide or travel, such as in dark, humid areas and near food sources. Traps should also be regularly checked and replaced to ensure their effectiveness.
Consistent cleaning and maintenance of your home preventing roaches from finding food and water sources is the best way to ensure a roach infestation does not begin in the first place.
Several natural methods shown to deter roaches from your house include:
- Essential oils: Some essential oils, such as peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus oil, have been known to repel roaches. You can dilute a few drops of oil in water and spray it around areas where roaches are likely to hide.
- Bay leaves: Roaches dislike the smell of bay leaves, so placing them in cabinets and other areas can help deter them.
- Vinegar: White vinegar has a strong odor that can repel roaches. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water and use it to clean surfaces, floors, and cabinets.
We recommend replacing your sticky roach traps every 60 days or once you notice the adhesive area is covered by cockroaches or other insects. The traps and adhesive are made to remain effective for extended periods of time. However, it is common that dust and other debris gets stuck to the adhesive which can reduce their effectiveness after 60 days.
Silverfish are attracted to starchy and sugary foods, as well as fabrics and paper products. Some common foods that can attract silverfish include:
- Cereals and grains: Silverfish are attracted to the starches and sugars in cereals, grains, and other pantry items.
- Flour and baking mixes: Flour and baking mixes are also high in starch and can attract silverfish.
- Sugar and sweets: Silverfish are attracted to sugar and sweet foods, such as candy, cookies, and other baked goods.
- Pet food: Silverfish can be attracted to pet food, especially if it is left out in open containers.
- Books and paper products: Silverfish can also be attracted to books, magazines, and other paper products, which provide a food source and a place to hide.
To prevent silverfish from being attracted to these foods, it's important to store them in airtight containers and keep your pantry and kitchen clean and free of crumbs and spills. It's also important to regularly dust and vacuum your home to remove any paper or fabric debris that may attract silverfish.
Silverfish are a common household pest that can be difficult to get rid of, but there are several steps you can take to eliminate them quickly:
- Identify and eliminate their food sources: Silverfish feed on starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics. Try to identify and eliminate these food sources as much as possible.
- Use sticky traps: Place sticky traps in areas where you have seen silverfish. These traps can catch silverfish and prevent them from reproducing.
- Vacuum regularly: Vacuum your home regularly to remove silverfish and their eggs. Be sure to vacuum in cracks, crevices, and other hiding places.
- Seal cracks and gaps: Silverfish can enter your home through cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings. Seal these openings to prevent them from entering.
- Hire a professional: If you have a severe silverfish infestation, or if you have tried other methods without success, consider hiring a professional pest control company to help you eliminate the problem.
Yes, adhesive bug traps work particularly well at trapping silverfish and controlling their population. Silverfish are attracted to the glue surface, as well as the cardboard or paper, of the trap and can get stuck, preventing them from reproducing and causing damage. You should also use traps that are specifically designed to catch silverfish, as some traps may not be effective against this particular pest.
It is possible to get rid of silverfish permanently, but it can be a challenging task. Silverfish are resilient and can reproduce quickly, so it's important to take a comprehensive approach to eliminate them. Some steps you can take to get rid of silverfish permanently include:
- Identify and remove their food sources: Silverfish feed on starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics. Remove these materials from your home or store them in sealed containers to prevent silverfish from accessing them.
- Reduce humidity levels: Silverfish thrive in humid environments, so reducing humidity levels in your home can help deter them. Use dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and exhaust fans to maintain dry conditions.
- Seal cracks and gaps: Silverfish can enter your home through cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings. Seal these openings to prevent them from entering.
- Hire a professional: If you have a severe silverfish infestation, or if you have tried other methods without success, consider hiring a professional pest control company to help you eliminate the problem.
It's important to note that even after successfully eliminating silverfish from your home, you should continue to take preventative measures to keep them from returning. Regular cleaning and maintenance, reducing humidity levels, and storing starchy materials in sealed containers can help prevent future infestations.
EcoPest Supply’s silverfish glue traps are the best traps for silverfish. Unlike other traps on the market, our traps are specifically designed to attract and catch silverfish.
Yes, silverfish are attracted to sticky traps, particularly those designed to catch crawling insects. The gluey surface of the trap attracts silverfish and can catch them as they move across it.
Professional pest control companies typically use a comprehensive approach to get rid of silverfish, which may include a combination of the following steps:
- Inspection: A professional pest control technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your home to identify the source of the infestation and the extent of the problem.
- Treatment: Based on the results of the inspection, the technician will develop a treatment plan that may include insecticides, baits, and other products designed to kill silverfish and their eggs.
- Seal cracks and gaps: The technician will seal any cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent silverfish from entering your home.
- Reduce humidity levels: Silverfish thrive in humid environments, so the technician may recommend using dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and exhaust fans to reduce humidity levels in your home.
We recommend replacing your silverfish sticky traps every 60 days or once you notice the adhesive area is covered by silverfish or other insects. The traps and adhesive are made to remain effective for extended periods of time. However, it is common that dust and other debris gets stuck to the adhesive which can reduce their effectiveness after 60 days.
Yes, pesticide-free silverfish traps are quick to set up and immediately effective. Silverfish are attracted to both the paper or cardboard and glue that the traps are made out of. Customers frequently report catching silverfish the first night the traps are put into use.
It is safe to use non-toxic silverfish glue traps such as EcoPest Supply’s sticky silverfish trap around food. However, unlike other common household pests like cockroaches and ants, silverfish are not as attracted to food items in kitchens or pantries. Silverfish are more attracted to starchy materials such as paper, glue and fabric. They also prefer humid areas such as in bathrooms and under sinks. As such, we advise customers to place silverfish glue traps in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and under sinks, rather than around food items.
A pest control powder duster is helpful in distributing the powder evenly and in hard-to-reach areas. A duster can also help you apply the powder more efficiently, which can save you time and effort.
A diatomaceous earth duster is a tool used to apply diatomaceous earth (DE) powder, or other fine powders. The duster is a small handled tool designed to distribute the diatomaceous earth powder evenly over surfaces and into cracks and crevices where insects may hide. Using a diatomaceous earth duster is an effective way to apply the powder to areas where insects may be present, such as in and around the home, as well as in gardens and other outdoor areas.
For indoor use, we recommend that Diatomaceous Earth or other insecticide powder be applied once a week for at least a month or until you notice the infestation has ended. After each application, wait 48 hours before sweeping up the powder. For outdoor use, we recommend reapplying powder after each rain or period of high humidity.
Yes, all EcoPest Supply products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your product, we will issue you a full refund or send a free replacement at no cost to you.
Cleaning the pest control powder duster applicator after use is important to ensure that it remains effective and safe to use in the future. Here are the steps to follow:
- Empty any remaining powder: Begin by emptying any remaining insecticide powder from the duster applicator. You can do this by turning the bulb upside down and gently tapping it to release any remaining powder.
- Clean each part: Wash each part of the duster applicator with soap and water to remove any remaining insecticide powder. Use a small brush or toothbrush to clean the hard-to-reach areas. Rinse each part thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry each part: Once each part of the duster applicator has been cleaned, dry it thoroughly with a clean towel or allow it to air dry completely.
- Reassemble the applicator: Once all parts of the duster applicator are clean and dry, reassemble the applicator.
- Store the applicator: Store the duster applicator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture until its next use.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your pest control powder duster applicator remains clean and effective for future use.
There are various kinds of insecticides that can be used with a pest control powder duster, depending on the type of pest you are targeting. Some common examples include:
- Diatomaceous earth: Diatomaceous earth is a popular natural insecticide that can be used to kill a wide range of pests, including silverfish, ants, bed bugs, and fleas. It works by dehydrating the pests' exoskeletons, causing them to die.
- Boric acid: Boric acid is a slow-acting insecticide that is effective against many types of pests, including roaches, ants, and silverfish. It can be used in powder form and works by interfering with the pests' digestive system.
- Pyrethrin: Pyrethrin is a natural insecticide derived from chrysanthemum flowers. It is effective against many types of pests, including mosquitoes, flies, and bed bugs. It works by targeting the pests' nervous system and causing paralysis and death.
Yes, our powder duster applicator is extremely easy to use. Simply unscrew the brass lance from the bulb, use the included funnel to fill the bulb about ¾ full of Diatomaceous Earth or other fine powder, screw the lance back on, and begin dusting.
The pest control powder duster applicator is working properly as long as an even stream of powder comes out when the bulb is lightly squeezed. If powder does not come out when squeezed, it is possible that there is a clog. This can occur if moisture gets in the bulb or lance, or if a hard clump of powder gets stuck in the nozzle. Simply unscrew the nozzle tip from the lance and use a toothpick or paperclip to remove the clog. If you wash the bulb or lance with water after use, it is important to ensure they are completely dry before using again.
When using a duster applicator to apply insecticide, you should target areas of the home where pests are likely to travel or hide such as:
- Baseboards: Dust around the baseboards of your home, as this is a common area for pests to travel.
- Cracks and crevices: Apply insecticide into cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and ceilings, as these areas can provide shelter for pests.
- Behind appliances: Dust behind appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines, as pests may hide in these areas.
- Cabinets and closets: Apply insecticide inside cabinets and closets where food, clothing, and other items are stored.
- Entry points: Dust around windows, doors, and other entry points to your home to prevent pests from entering.
When using a duster applicator outdoors, to ensure effective and safe use of insecticides, we recommend the following tips:
- Choose a calm day: Choose a day with little or no wind to apply the insecticide, as windy conditions can cause the insecticide to drift and potentially harm non-targeted areas or organisms.
- Apply in dry conditions: Avoid applying the insecticide when it is raining or when the ground is wet, as this can dilute the insecticide and reduce its effectiveness.
- Target pest hotspots: Focus on areas where pests are known to congregate, such as around the perimeter of the home, in gardens, or around compost piles.
- Consider using natural or eco-friendly products: If possible, consider using natural or eco-friendly insecticides to minimize the impact on the environment.
Yes, our Spider Glue Traps are designed to be non-toxic, meaning they do not contain chemicals, and are therefore safe around humans and animals.
Spider Glue Traps should be placed where spider activity has been detected or where it is suspected. Common locations to place adhesive spider traps include: along baseboards, in corners, on window sills, and under furniture.
Spider Glue Traps contain a natural scent that attracts spiders. Once on the trap, the adhesive captures the spiders and they are unable to crawl off.
The quantity of Spider Glue Traps needed depends on factors such as the severity of the infestation, and the size of the home, office, or other establishment. EcoPest Supply sells Spider Glue Traps in quantities of 12 and 20. It is generally recommended to place a few adhesive traps in various locations per room.
We recommend replacing the traps every 60 days or sooner if the majority of the adhesive area is covered by insects or other debris. The traps are made with strong, long-lasting adhesive, but their effectiveness can diminish after 60 days with dust, lint, or other debris buildup.
Spider Glue Traps can catch other crawling insects as well. However, it is better to use specialized traps to target various pest species as factors such as scent and adhesive viscosity can differ depending on the target insect species.
No, we recommend disposing of the glue traps every 60 days or sooner if filled with insects. Be sure to dispose of the traps as directed on the packaging and be cautious not to touch the adhesive directly to avoid skin irritation.
This depends on the placement location as well as the severity of the infestation. Generally, it is recommended to replace the Spider Glue Traps at least every 60 days or sooner if the adhesive area is covered with insects or other debris. When placed in areas where dust, lint or other debris is likely to accumulate, we recommend replacing the glue traps more frequently as these factors can diminish the effectiveness of the adhesive.
Spider treatment is necessary because these pests can multiply quickly and cause numerous issues in homes, offices, and other establishments. While most spiders are harmless, some species can pose threats to humans and animals. Additionally, many individuals are allergic to spider bites or allergens present in spider droppings. These allergies can manifest as skin rashes, itching, swelling, or even more severe symptoms. People with respiratory conditions such as asthma may also experience worsened symptoms if exposed to spider allergens. Effective spider treatment reduces the risk of such adverse effects.
Typical pest control programs include quarterly inspections and treatments for insects including spiders. EcoPest Supply’s Spider Glue Traps are meant to be a passive tool to help monitor and mitigate spider infestations and can be used year-around. If an increase in spider activity is noticed, it is advised to contact a pest control service provider. We partner with highly-rated exterminating companies across the United States.
