MaxGuard Extra Large Cricket Traps (8 Traps) | Non-Toxic Extra Sticky Glue Board Pre-Baited Cricket Attractant Trap & Kill House Crickets, Insects, Spiders, Bugs

I just recently moved to Texas and was very annoyed with the random cricket showing up. After I got these traps I haven’t been startled by cricket, it has caught them all. It’s really sticky, so even if they’re only partially on there, they won’t be able to get out.This isn’t the reason I’m writing this review though, the reason I’m here is because this trap caught a scorpion in my living room! I came out in the morning and there it was, stuck to the film, unable to move. This thing is excellent for crickets and will at least catch the occasional scorpion if they’re around.I feel a lot better knowing I won’t be caught by surprise by any critters in the morning, they’ll just be stuck on this.

Very sticky and clearly very attractive to "cave crickets," those arched-back jumpers that invade our basement in the fall and early spring. The traps are easy to assemble, have no discernable odor, and last a long time. We leave them in place until they are full -- which means that the adhesive surface has no more room to trap. An excellent product.

These really worked pretty well! I didn’t realize how many of those horrible spider crickets I had in my basement until it was a real problem! I have pets so I couldn’t call an exterminator and have someone spray chemicals! So I had to tackle them myself! I put these pads all over the basement in the tool room and the laundry room and the next day I had about 40 of them, stuck all over these things! After about a week o replaced them with new ones.The best way to get rid of the crickets is a combination of these sticky pads and a good soray bottle with a lot of dawn liquid and water. When you see them or know where they hide spray the Dawn right at them. Step back because the horrible things leap at you when threatened! Spray them and they die in a minute. And the dawn liquid smells nice too and no harmful chemicals! I would go down every day and look for them with a flashlight and spray them. Every day. For three weeks and got them all. It’s been over a week and didn’t see any until today there was one. Sprayed it with dawn and it dropped to the floor and died. Think I am done finally with these and nothing to harm my cats or dog.I put up baby gates to keep the cats out of the basement rooms where the crickets were but one night one of the cats jumped the gate and got stuck in a sticky pad. He must have had quite a time getting it off him but in the morning just found the lad upside down and the gate toppled over.These are the most horrible pests I’ve ever seen. They are huge and jump many feet and populate fast! These sticky pads plus daily dawn liquid battles take them down!

These glue traps really do work, you just need to be very thoughtful & cautious with their usage. This won't just attract & capture bugs...they will attract & capture other creatures that eat bugs, too! Thus, be very careful with using these outdoors in a location where other larger bug predators can access them.We set up 3 traps on our front & back porches, due to wicked cricket infestations. Within 24 hours, all 3 traps caught numerous crickets....and all 3 traps caught a bird. I was able to free 2 of the birds, but one got itself so stuck I was forced to put it out of its misery. The birds were attempting to snack on the juicy crickets the traps caught. We are discontinuing use of the traps, despite their effectiveness, to prevent collateral damage.So, if you plan to use these traps outside, please be aware that you're setting a trap for more than just crickets.

Now they are gone, stuck to these mats Also some other pesky bugs got caught too. Work great. I put them down this fall, checked them once a week. No more crickets. Yay!

I was having mice problems. Seems I had accidentally trained them too well / or drove them insane. not sure which. I couldn't keep them off my counter tops.For the past year I have been Blending / Juicing Produce after a getting home out of traffic from my full time job. Leave at 6am Lucky to get home after 4pm (usually I am delayed) I'm not blessed with extra time to normally keep my kitchen spotless. So All these months I have been un-intentionally leaving vegetable/fruit peelings lying around as snacks.So naturally when my snack stealing friends came in (through the wide open gap in my flat-roof seam I just had fixed) Every night Mice would come looking for their breakfast on my counters after I managed to go to bed. Normal mousetraps / bait / peanut butter / cashews / mousebait jell / no-kill mousetraps were all USELESS. Starving them out by policing my counters down to surgical clean flat-top did not helpThese were insane Ninja Mice who knew exactly what they wanted & nothing else would be good enough. Finally I had enough and upped the game by grabbing the only sticky traps I had in the house. I really did not want to go this far.I had bought these cricket traps on a whim because I did have a minor problem with annoying hard to stomp on Jumping bugs (or more properly Camel Crickets) in my not that damp basement, which was not really a big deal problem & I only ever needed one single sticky panel out of a pack of 8.That one actually did work great & I still have it down there right where I left it - continuing to to a great job. The other 7 were just sitting here un-used.The first time I had to do this - I saw the mouse first- he ran tword the back of the room under some furniture / no way past me, had him cornered. I laid down a line of 6 sticky trap panels walked away for a moment & the whole sequence was over / had him stuck in about 5 minutes.So here may be the interesting part for you guys: That first time: I did manage to actually set him free. He tried crossing my mine-field, Running for the border full tilt- Got stuck in the middle of a trap and started screaming for all his worth. If you look on the packaging of these traps - It explains if you grab common cooking oil, Olive oil or such: If you really want to - You can just take him outside, Coat the critter all over with oil and he will work himself loose from the Trap.So he actually did run off free un-harmed. At that time I was glad of the experience.Later I was much more troubled by my furry friends and of course I feel much better now. Determined mice will not be able to get past a laid down & affixed perimeter line of these traps. For me they are like Gold.
