Customer Reviews for Catchmaster Mouse/Insect Glue Boards 72MB

I had high expectations but unfortunately..failure. I bought these cause my place of employment was using them for their rodent problem. Well, after one month, neither at my home nor at my workplace, has anyone of these traps caught anything other than dust bunnies and insects. My husband actually saw a mouse scoot through one of these traps without even a whisker getting stuck. They have been ineffective in our battle to get rid of our mice.

  Expert response:
It is important to keep these glue boards from getting dusty and full of insects.  If the purpose of these boards is to catch mice, you should fold the glueboards so they do not get dusty.  If a layer of dust gets on the surface of the glue, they will not be sticky enough to trap a mouse.  Also, if the glueboard is catching a lot of insects, then it will deter a mouse from gettting on the glueboard.  You can also try a bait in the middle of the glueboard, like some sunflower seeds or a small scoop of chocolate gnutella to entice a rodent on the board.  This customer was probably not getting the results they were expecting because they did not switch to newer glueboards after they became dusty and full of insects.

I could not find Hoy Hoy traps which have always worked for me, so I tried these. They caught absolutely no roaches. I literally saw a roach walk up to one and walk away. They do not work.

I live in Phoenix and have roaches about an inch long, maybe a bit bigger. This never catches them. I saw one get trapped one night, so decided to leave it and see what happened. By morning, it had worked itself free.

These glue boards don't detain mice. They visit, eat any bait put on them, poop, and walk away.

Used for roach control, watched one roach climb on top and under the trap, did not go in. Have caught 3 using trap after two weeks. Would not purchase for roach control.

Way to costly. When I purchased it I thought it was for a box of 72 glue board. Very disappointed that it was 12. It was my fault that didn't read the amount but would never buy that from you again.

I put this brand and another brand side by side. My old brand caught a snake, bugs, spiders. This brand is almost clear...Does not work.

Mice were not attracted to these glue boards at all. They didn't go near them. I've used them flat and also boxed up along the baseboards and in the cupboards of my home. Absolutely no mice activity on any of the boards. They smell nice though. I will not buy these again.

I set up 5 of them as soon as I received them. NOTHING! And I'm still seeing that mouse run underneath the chair close to where the traps are placed. They don't work!

I have these things all over a high traffic area without any results. The mice just avoid them. I still have a problem.

They aren't strong enough. The glue doesn't hold or contain

2 weeks, multiple boards, not one mouse caught. I think my mice are too smart for these.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! We recommend placing glue boards in areas where activity is most likely, such as corners, entrances, or other areas you suspect they frequent. This can help improve effectiveness, and insure you are always wearing gloves when placing glue boards. Please let us know if you need further assistance!

I've only caught two mice with these and I've put out 25. The mice are pooping on them, so I know they are walking around them. I noticed that they're putting bits of paper in one of the little boxes as if they are making a nest. I just wonder if the glue is sticky enough.

  Expert response:
If the boards are placed in a dusty area, the dust may make the board ineffective and the glue not as sticky. Placement is also important. Try placing glue boards about 8 feet apart (don't place too many in the same area), and along a wall or baseboard so that a mouse running along a wall will eventually run right over the board. Finally, while these boards can be folded up into boxes, we recommend using them just laying flat. The box setup works well for catching insects and protecting the glue from dust, while a flat glue board allows mice to more easily run over the board. We appreciate your feedback. Good luck!

I think we made the mistake of handling the traps with our fingers. The mice avoided them. But they did catch ants and flies. We may try them again but use gloves before handling. Our mistake.

I thought the silentrap glue boards were black not white. That's what I ordered and the white are not nearly as effective when using the silentrap ultraviolet light. Very disappointed

I put 3 in holes where mice came out at roof rafter, mice feet step on and drop down to floor, where it tried to get out of the glue paper. the paper left its feet edges - the layer of glue gone with its feet, which means the glue layer can come out of the paper. fortunately, I have a trap near by that caught the mice. the paper is easy to use and cheap. in my case it acts like a guide to the trap.

Glue Boards very useful. Though we have external bug barrier and spray indoors we still get small rawling insects and an occasional palmetto bug. We place about 10 boards around haouse strategically. They catch insects and occasional larger bugs.

An exterminator left several of these out and they have been good at catching insects but not so good at catching mice though 3 mice were caught in them over a 6 wk period. LTD traps are much better for mice control.

This works well for roaches and spiders. Good to have when treating for roaches for monitoring purposes. I haven't had any luck with these for mice. I have seen a few that the mice have gotten stuck on but they all escaped.

Bait has been down about a week, there are still mice. I do not see any lessening in activity. Still lots of droppings. All holes filled with copper, sticky trips with smell in middle. Not catching any

Purchased the glue traps for a rat problem in my garage. The rats would walk over the glue traps and not get caught. Several traps had rat fur, but the rats easily got away. The traps are good for insects such as spiders and roaches as we have noticed them stuck to the traps.

I found that these were not as effective as the open glue pads. I did not catch anything with these boards. The open plastic glue boards I caught over 6 mice.
