Thanks for Choosing Team Bug Out!

Your glue board is a chemical-free way to keep tabs on pest activity in your space. Think of it as your silent partner in the fight against unwelcome critters. Proper placement and regular check-ins are the secret to getting the best results, and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

Open glue traps work like a charm, but they need to be used smartly. Keep these traps away from kids and pets. If you’ve got curious little ones or furry friends roaming around, consider tucking traps in hidden spots like under appliances or behind furniture. And here’s a pro tip: if something (or someone) accidentally gets stuck, a little baby oil or cooking oil will help release them safely.

1. Choose the Right Location: Place your glue board where pests like to travel. Think of it as setting up a checkpoint on their highway:

  • Along walls or baseboards where bugs scurry.
  • Near entry points like doors and windows.
  • Close to food storage areas in kitchens or pantries.

2. Safety First: Keep glue boards out of reach of children and pets:

  • Avoid placing them where they could be accidentally touched or stepped on.
  • Consider tucking traps in hidden or enclosed spaces in homes with curious kids or pets.
  • Under appliances or furniture works great for keeping them out of sight and out of mind.

3.Check Regularly: Inspect the board often to see what’s happening. This helps you figure out what types of pests you’re dealing with and where they’re most active. Knowledge is power when it comes to pest control.

4. Record Your Findings: Keeping track of the types and numbers of pests you capture gives you insight into how serious the situation is. Are you catching more ants in the kitchen? Spiders in the basement? This info helps you (and us) tackle the problem at its source.

5. What Gets Caught: Glue traps can catch crawling insects, spiders, and even small rodents. Identifying what’s stuck on the board provides clues about where pests are coming from and what might be attracting them to your space.
