Do you have
Brown Recluse spiders in your home?
Order our Glue
Traps to find out. Here are 10 reasons why
we recommend Catchmaster Glue Traps for controlling Brown Recluse spider populations in your home:
| 1. |
While
Brown Recluse spider infestations are thought by many to be impossible
to eliminate, research
at the University of Kansas has shown that "effective population management
is possible" with Catchmaster glue traps (See quote below). |
| 2. |
You
see the evidence of a glue trap's effectiveness because the spider is
caught in the trap. |
| 3. |
Traps
offer an opportunity to positively identify a Brown Recluse spider
because it is caught on the trap. Your safety is also enhanced because you learn
to recognize the spider when you see it. |
| 4. |
Glue
traps get rid of spiders in places where it may not be safe to spray
pesticides such as inside food cabinets. |
| 5. |
Pesticide
applications can actually be detrimental because studies show that
Brown Recluse spiders will prefer dead insects over living ones. |
| 6. |
No
chemical residues in your home. |
| 7. |
Inexpensive
to use. 15 traps are only $9.95. No need to call an exterminator. |
| 8. |
Easy
to use. Fold the traps, put them where you want them and you're done. |
| 9. |
Unwanted
insects such as cockroaches and crickets will also get caught in the trap. |
| 10. |
It will
be easy to identify which areas of your home have the worst Brown Recluse
infestations.

Best places to
set your traps
Research
was done at the University of Kansas in the summer of 2002 to determine
ideal trap placements for a typical residential home. The following is a
list of their recommendations. Use the Glue Trap calculator located below to
determine how many traps are recommended for your home.
If these guidelines
are followed for setting your glue traps and you find no Brown Recluse spiders
on any of the traps, then you can relax because it is extremely unlikely there are any Brown Recluse
spiders in your home.
The #1 location to
trap Brown Recluse spiders is near the furnace and water heater. Brown Recluse
spiders are not usually found in attics, crawl spaces, inside drawers of
desks/cabinets or on closet shelves.
Garage
-
One trap
in each of the four corners is usually very effective. If you have an attached garage, one trap on each side of the
entrance to your home. If your garage has a storage room, one trap on each
corner and one near doorway
Bathroom
-
Behind the
toilet
-
Behind or
along the side of the sink area.
-
Behind or
underneath the bathtub if possible. If not, a placement nearest the
bathtub with help avoid spiders from entering the bathtub.
Bedrooms
-
Underneath the
bed. This is one of the most important locations in your home because many
spider bites occur while sleeping.
-
Along the
outside wall near a window is the best location, but if this is not
possible place them in a corner along an outside wall.
-
In closets,
preferably along an outside wall.
-
Unused
bedrooms are also important because spiders prefer undisturbed locations.
Kitchens
-
Underneath
cabinets. Upper cabinet placement is generally ineffective
-
In corners
along the cabinet area (on the floor).
-
On the floor
of a pantry closet
Family/Living
room
-
On window
sills
-
Near live
plants, which draw insects
-
Along the
outside wall near a window is the best location, but if this is not
possible place them in a corner along an outside wall.
-
Behind
entertainment centers or bookshelves.
Basements
-
In piles of
wood
-
In boxes,
especially clothing boxes
-
Infrequently
used areas, carpeted rooms
How many Glue Traps will you need for your home?
While some
companies sell a small number of larger sized traps, we have learned that
it is more effective and economical to set a large number of small traps.
A large trap isn't necessarily more likely to catch a spider than a small
one since it's the edge of a trap that catches a spider anyway.
The simple
conclusion is: the more traps you set, the more spiders will be caught.
The below calculator is based on recommendations by Kansas University
researchers:

Note:
Studies show that glue traps are not as effective against female Brown Recluse
spiders. This is because they do not move around frequently. Because it is
very difficult to control the population of female Brown Recluse
spiders, you may choose to also have a Brown Recluse First Aid Kit on hand. We
call
it the two-pronged defense; prevention and a readily available
treatment.
Why Catchmaster
brand?
Catchmaster
is the trap used and recommended by researchers at the University of
Kansas. The head researcher said, "Over and over again the Catchmaster traps come through.
Even when traps are crowded and full, the Catchmaster brand catches recluse by as little as one leg."
Unlike other
traps, Catchmaster's glue is "sticky" rather than
"gooey". Other brands often use a raised trap which actually is a
barrier to spider entrance. Catchmaster's trap lies flat on the ground, or
sticks to the side of walls with a special adhesive, and is
folded up into a box shape.

"I bought
30 recluse traps last spring & placed them throughout my house; by the
time summer was over, each had trapped a minimum of 3 brown recluse spiders
(along with other varmints), and some even more (Up to EIGHT in some
traps!)! Thanks!" Sherri Lilburn - Stillwater, Oklahoma
Email
received on 6/15/06:
"Fortunately we
haven't had to use the recluse first aid kit we purchased from your website -
but man, the traps are getting lots of action. Recluses check in, but they
don't check out! I've caught about 10 of the little devils in the past few
months. Because the traps are easily moved from place to place - it's great to
know that an empty one can be moved to a new location where other traps
demonstrate a heavier infestation. Four dead ones in the utility room - none
in the gameroom - time to blanket the utility area with more traps! Placing
the traps near the water heater was also spot-on information from your website
- found three dead ones there. Thanks to your traps I think we are finally
getting a handle on our recluse problem and we're doing so without the toxic
chemicals we'd prefer not to have in our home." John O. -

"LOVE
your product. I have tried other traps & they just don't even come close
to working like yours." Renee - Lebanon, Missouri
I highly
recommend the brown recluse kit and the traps. After being bitten on the face,
you can barely see the scar. The traps are great to monitor any infestation. I
found about 15 spiders in the traps over the first month, since then I have
re-purchased the traps and have them throughout my home. I am so paranoid of
spiders after being bitten and these traps give me peace of mind. Thank you so
much for the kit, traps and the information on your website. M.M. -
