TERRO Spider & Insect Trap

Yes. Because the traps contain no chemical insecticides, they are safe for households with pets and children. When folded into their protective tent shape, the sticky surface is shielded, preventing accidental contact.

No, these traps are designed exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor elements like moisture, dust, and debris will quickly render the adhesive ineffective.

The traps rely on a synthetic, non-allergenic scent lure embedded within the adhesive. This scent mimics natural attractants to draw crawling insects onto the sticky surface, where they become trapped.

You can do both depending on your needs. Placing them flat provides the largest surface area for catching pests, while folding them into a tent shape helps conceal captured insects and protects the glue from dust or accidental contact.

These traps are effective against a variety of common crawling household pests, including spiders, ants, cockroaches, and crickets.

You should replace the traps once the surface is full of insects or if the adhesive loses its stickiness due to dust accumulation. For ongoing prevention, replace them every few months.
