I moved into a house that had been vacant for about 2 years. There were the usual spiders and other bugs, there were also interactive cat toys (aka mice). So I called pest control to come out and spray for the bugs and set up mouse traps that would be safe to use around my cats. Well the cats seem to have taken care of the mouse problem. When I went to go pick up the mouse traps, I noticed it was all sticky stuff and they were covered with gnats, flies, spiders and my arch nemesis - Stink bugs. Shame on me for not asking to see the traps before they were set because I would not have allowed them to be put out, I wanted traps that I could bring the mouse outside and release it.
So if you know you don't have a mouse problem but want to get rid of bugs this might be the trap for you. The pest person said these traps have a scent that would attract mice. I also use the cider vinegar traps and they work well. I tried the tape traps for the gnats and that was a total fail. Someone suggested that I spray some flowery scent on the tape. I moved and the plants did not survive the trip.
