Setup Instructions Troubleshooting
HOW IT WORKS

Pre-baited boards that work where pests walk

Each board is coated with a maximum-hold adhesive and a built-in bait scent that draws mice, roaches, crickets, spiders, scorpions, and other crawling pests onto the surface. No poison, no snap mechanism, no setup — peel the liner, place the board along a wall, and let traffic do the rest.

  • Pre-baited — nothing to add, no mess
  • Folds into three shapes: flat, U-shape, or covered box
  • Catches mice AND insects — one board for both

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Three shapes, one minute

1

Peel the liner

Separate the traps and peel the protective paper off the glue surface. Hold by the edges — the adhesive is strong.

2

Pick a shape

Lay it flat for open floors, fold it U-shape for behind appliances, or fold the covered box for dusty or high-traffic areas.

3

Place along walls

Set the board flush against a baseboard or wall where you've seen droppings or activity — pests travel edges, not open floor.

4

Check daily

Inspect traps once a day. Dispose of used boards sealed in a bag with household trash, and replace with a fresh one.

PLACEMENT TIPS

Put the trap on their commute

DO

  • Place flush along walls, baseboards, and behind appliances
  • Target entry points: under sinks, garage doors, utility lines, pantries
  • Use multiple traps 5–10 ft apart where you've seen droppings
  • Use the folded-box shape in dusty spots — dust kills glue tack

DON'T

  • Don't place in the middle of a room — pests avoid open space
  • Don't use in wet areas or outdoors in rain — moisture weakens the glue
  • Don't place where children or pets can reach — use the box fold near them
  • Don't move traps daily — mice are cautious; give each spot 3–5 days
WHAT TO EXPECT

Patience beats poison

DAYS 1–3

Insects are usually caught within the first day or two. Mice may take longer — they're wary of new objects on their route. Leave traps in place.

DAYS 3–7

Mice begin treating the board as part of the landscape and get caught crossing it. Check traps daily and replace used ones promptly.

ONGOING

Keep a few boards in place as monitors after activity stops — an empty board near an entry point is your early-warning system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common issues, quick fixes

Mice walk around the trap

Push the board tight against the wall so there's no gap behind it, and don't relocate it for 3–5 days. Placing two boards end-to-end along a busy run makes it much harder to step around.

The glue lost its stickiness

Dust, pet hair, and moisture coat the adhesive over time. Replace dusty boards and switch to the folded-box shape in those spots. If a board is not sticky straight out of the pack, contact us for a replacement.

Glue got on floors, carpet, or a pet

Apply cooking or vegetable oil to the glue, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe and wash with mild soap. For pets, work oil through the fur gently and bathe with pet shampoo; call your vet if irritation persists.

Boards arrived stuck together or damaged

Pull slowly from opposite corners to separate boards. If any arrive damaged or unusable, contact support with your order details — we'll ship replacements right away.

Caught nothing after a week

Re-scout: look for fresh droppings, gnaw marks, or grease trails and move boards directly onto those runs. Remove competing food sources (sealed pet food, crumbs). Still stuck? We'll help you troubleshoot directly.

Glue Trap FAQ

What pests do these traps catch?

Mice, cockroaches, crickets, spiders, scorpions, and most crawling insects.

Do I need to add bait?

No — every board is pre-baited with an attractant scent. Adding food on top can actually let pests feed without stepping on the glue.

Are they safe around kids and pets?

There's no poison, but the glue is very strong. Use the folded-box shape and place boards where small hands and paws can't reach.

How long does a board stay effective?

Up to several months in a clean, dry spot — replace when dusty, full, or after any moisture exposure.

Safety notes

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets — use the covered box fold in shared spaces.
  • Check traps at least once daily and dispose of used boards promptly.
  • Wear gloves or hold by the edges when placing and disposing.
  • If glue contacts skin, remove with cooking oil and wash with mild soap.
  • Seal used boards in a bag and dispose of with household trash.
