Catchmaster Sticky Insect & Mouse Traps 60-Count, 5.3"x8" Glue Boards for Mice & Insects, Ultra Sticky Rat & MouseTraps Indoor for Home Use in Garages, Basements & Attics, Pest Control for Home

The Catchmaster Pro Strength Glue Boards have been my go-to solution for managing random bugs in the basement. This 75-pack gives you plenty to work with, and I’ve found them really effective not just for mice, but also for all kinds of creepy crawlers. I mainly use them to trap roaches, centipedes, and other unwanted guests that sneak into dark corners and behind appliances. The adhesive is strong enough to hold even larger bugs without them crawling off or escaping. What I like is how easy they are to set out. You just peel the paper and drop them in places you’ve seen activity. I slide them along the baseboards, under the water heater, behind shelves, and inside storage cabinets. Within a few hours, I usually start seeing results. Even without bait, they still do their job. If I want to target something more aggressively, I’ll add a little peanut butter or food crumb in the center, and that usually draws them right in. They’re non-toxic and safe to use around the house as long as pets or kids can’t get to them, which gives me peace of mind. I’ve used other brands that dried out quickly or weren’t sticky enough, but these have held up better over time, even in a humid basement. For the price and quantity, it’s a solid buy if you’re dealing with any kind of low-level pest issue indoors. Definitely worth keeping a stack on hand for year-round use.

We have a terrible fly problem this year. I'm not sure if they're getting in through the window air conditioner, or what, but we can't seem to get rid of them completely. I originally bought these because we have house centipedes sometimes, and they creep me out looking like aliens. Plus apparently, I'm allergic to them, as I have a horrible itching rash after I get bit by one. My brother is diabetic, and he apparently is allergic to them too, as he gets huge dime-sized ulcers in his skin if he gets bit by them, and they take forever to heal. So the fly problem started, and I got the bright idea to just lay one of these out for that in the kitchen, dining room and the bathroom. Turns out they seem to be mostly in my dining room area near the back door, even though it's sealed, somehow maybe they're getting in from there. I laid one of the sticky pads out just to see what would happen. Well caught five of them. And two of the five must have been females because they actually laid eggs as they were dying. I didn't even realize it was eggs at first because with regular vision it just looks like a spiky little magnetic filament pile that's gray like cement in color. However, when I zoomed in with the camera and took a picture, I could clearly see it's eggs. Each fly can lay between 50 and 150 eggs! These sticky pads just saved our house from being completely overrun by flies. I have an electronic zapper too, and it works great, however our dog is absolutely terrified of it. Anytime a fly hits it, he goes running off and hides, and he starts shaking, and severely affected by that noise for some reason. We've had him ever since he was 7 weeks old so I have no idea where in his life this noise happened that it really really scares him to death. So these sticky pads have been a huge help with these flies. Unfortunately, we can't figure out where the flies exactly are coming from so they continue to come in. I also have an electronic zapping racket, and that works too. I do use it, but these help also, as you can see. I also want to mention that they have no odor at all. I have chemical sensitivities for over 20 years now, and I would never be able to use some of the other products that are on the market. I definitely wanted to mention the no odor for other people that are like me. No VOC's at all. I taped one to the top of the paneling in my room near the ceiling because that is where I always see a house centipede however have not caught one yet but I did catch a fly, as you can see in the last photo. I used scotch tape to put it up there, so I could easily remove it. Do NOT put these anywhere using part of the adhesive to stick it! It would most likely ruin whatever you put it on. The glue is very strong! I had laid one on a table in my room, and was digging through laundry, and my nightgown landed right on the pad lol! Fun times LOL! Highly recommend in any size! A few years ago we bought the larger size in this brand, and put one in the basement, and it caught several large spiders, house centipedes, and a few bugs we aren't even sure what they were. Safe, non-tocic, no odor, perfect!

These are great and they will do exactly what you need them to do. However, you may find they get stuck to things, if you are not careful. I will tell you three ways to get things they may stick to (like your shoe, clothes or anything else). First, use Mostenbockers Tape Remover. Spray this between the glue board and the item it is stuck to by pulling back the edge of the glue trap and saturating the area between the items. Wait a few minutes and gently pry the glue trap off of the item. If there is resistance, spray some more Mostenbockers Tape/Adhesive Remover, which is conveniently available here on Amazon, and wait again. Then gently work the item off. Then, after the glue trap has been removed from the item, use the spray Remover and a spoon to scrape off the reset of the adhesive on the item. Wipe it with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser AFTER doing all of that to remove any remaining residue. The second method is to use an adhesive remover called C22. Follow the same steps I outlined for Mostenbockers Tape/Adhesive remover. You can also get C22 adhesive remover here on Amazon. The third way is to use Dawn Dish Detergent! You will take saturate the area between the glue board and the item with Dawn. Wait about 15 minutes and then gently start prying the glue board off of the item. As you expose more of the glue board adhesive, put more Dawn on the area between the item and the glue board and wait 15 minutes more. Then continue to gently pry off the glue board with your hands. Continue this process until the board is completely off. Do not be hasty and try to rip the board off quickly. That will result in possible damage to the item. Other adhesives might work, but these three items I know firsthand will work. Back to the boards. The boards are absolutely excellent and they WILL catch anything that runs over them. They are great for little lizards, little snakes, spiders, crickets & anything else that runs around in your home that should not be there. They also capture little kids who crawl on them (you might want to keep the kid, so just use Dawn to get the trap off of any kid who happens to crawl over one of these lol). Please note that you can also cut these down if you need a different size, however, please remember to cut them BEFORE you peel the cover off and have some adhesive remover handy to get the little bit of glue adhesive off of your scissors!

I agree with some of the others that they're good for catching spiders and other insects but not mice because I saw fuzzy gray hair on a trap ! I think it got away. I accidentally got one stuck to a piece of my bedding that fell on the floor and I had a heck of a time getting it off. I had it all over my hands by the time I was done and then I'm google and how to get it off while I'm putting soap and water on there which is doing nothing. I'm squirting soap out of a squirt bottle frantic because I'm thinking it might have chemicals in it. I couldn't remember so I'm frantically trying to scrub it with soap and a pan scrubber. I then squirted the soap right in my eye so now I have glue on my hands... soap in my eyes and I'm trying to google to see if there's any chemicals in it. I feel fine! I did discover that cooking oil gets it off faster than alcohol or soap. I'm not sure how to wash the sheet though. I'm just glad it didn't get on my $80 blanket. I'm sure I sounds clumsy, but I actually stepped on one and it stepped in my shoe pretty bad so just remember where you put these suckers!!😫 I've been finding spiders on the traps that I didn't know I had and other bugs, but that's about it! I've seen some fleas on there! I have Pets and now I am totally fumigating my house!!

There had been a leak in my apartment building for god knows how long that was just discovered. It caused significant damage to the flooring in the community hallway and garage. After maintenance finally cut through the walls to discover the massive leak, tenants including myself noticed critters in the hallways. It was only a matter of time before they spread to the apartments. For reference, I am a super clean tenant, who works tirelessly around the clock to keep my place clean as I am a mama. Cleanliness matters to me. However, no matter how clean I may be, I have spotted more than a few critters in my apartment. I had thought I’d gotten the infestation under control purchasing sprays and gels-until I bought these glue traps. Despite not visually seeing any more critters, I still wanted to make sure they were all gone so I purchased these traps. Omgeee 1st night after delivery of these traps, we caught at least 25 roaches! I was amazed in the morning to see how well these glue traps worked. Maintenance is now doing something about the issue. These traps are also extremely sticky. Be careful, I myself have accidentally got caught in one not watching my step and my favorite house slippers got ruined :( These glue traps provide me with security and comfort knowing any critter will be caught. I didn’t even have to put any bait down. No matter how clean you may be, critters will be critters. Doing some research online, we are now working to seal any cracks and replace the seal on our front do so that nothing creeps in. Again, cleanliness was never the cause as to why these critters were attracted to my apartment. I also cannot confirm if the infestation was due to another tenant being messy. But I can only suspect it have been the warm environment and a leaky building that attracted them…. I will keep you all updated on how well it continues to work. I attached some graphic pics.

Mice get off of these easily. Once they flip them over, getting off, they are a pain to pull up. As for catchability, my puppy loves them as she thinks they make the best slippers. They arent very effective. I have to put out two or three. They catch stink bugs.

The Catchmaster Mouse & Insect Glue Boards work incredibly well. I placed a few around my basement and pantry, and within a day they had already caught several insects—and even a sneaky mouse that’s been dodging other traps. The adhesive is strong, the boards are easy to set up, and the 60-pack offers amazing value. These are the same quality I’ve seen professionals use. If you're dealing with pests, this is a must-have solution!

These are excellent pre-baited traps that are highly effective (but there is a better option, explained below). They are very similar to what an exterminator would use who you would pay $60-$80 a month to come service your home. If you know how to operate a pump sprayer, you could get one of those and a bottle of indoor bug control from lowes for about $30 total, plus one box of these for $30 and you can service your own home for 6 months just as good as Orkin or Terminex (excluding things like large rats/termites/bats, etc, those are a little more of a challenge). Something to note about this particular trap: this is a 75M model trap and is relatively small compared to the 72TC model. You can buy a box of 48 quantity 72TC Catchmaster for $21.00, and it is also a Prime Item. These traps (75M) are made to be stand alone unit only. The 72TC is made to be stand alone OR inserted into a 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap. Here is the difference between the 2 Catchmaster 75M (The product currently being reviewed) Price: $29.99 for 75 pack Size when folded: 3 inches deep, 3.4 inches wide, 1.2 inches tall Size when flat: 7 inches x 3.5 inches Bait: Same as 72TC Price per unit: $.039 Total surface area of entire package: 1,837.5 sq inches Catchmaster 72TC Price: $21 for 48 pack Size when folded: 5.2 inches deep, 4.4 inches wide, 2.3 inches tall Size when flat: 10.3 inches x 4.4 inches Bait: Same as 75M Price per unit: $0.43 Total surface area of all units: 2,175.4 sq inches Here's the bottom line, this product is smaller than another product that costs less per sq inch and is a larger unit that can hold more bugs/snakes/mice/etc. Same glue, same paper, all the same except one is bigger and cheaper and ,in my opinion the Catchmaster 72TC is a better buy.
