The backing on the trap will not peel off - it is stuck to the glue. any one else have this problem?

If you're question is about the paper covering the sticky area not releasing, then you might try putting the unit (not the lozenge) in the freezer for 5 minutes. It should release easily then.

I haven't had any problems with any and all the ones I have purchased. I would suggest either contact the vendor or return to Amazon OR heat up some water on the stove and hold it over steam of the boiling water as it may come out easier.... Perhaps. Good luck.

No, mine peeled very easily. Is there an expiration date on the trap? (I didn't check mine.) Almost sounds like it was stored in the heat or something.

Thanks to all - the traps are new (I assume) as I just received them from Amazon. It may have been stored in the heat during the shipping process. I will try steaming it apart.

try taking the clip off, bending in carefully the part that clips to the pencil, and then put it back on, or you could try super glue, since there's not much reason for it to come off, i love these pencils too, they are my favorite

It is entirely dependent on glue. I've had no trouble with it staying attached.

They come off from time to time, it is only from pulling them out of a "bag target". As long as you can find them it's easy to just glue them back on, I use super glue and it seems to work just fine. If you can't find them you can always just get new tips on Amazon they are about $5 a box.

I poked mine in through the hole and it dropped onto the sticky part.....worked great. Had lots of moths, and they flocked to the trap until all three sides were covered. Had to replace it before the two or three months it was supposed to last.....second trap did the trick. No more moths.

I use packaging tape on mine. If I had some glue handy, I would test it out for you, but I do not have any glue.

I had the same problem after a few years. If you're handy and don't mind putting some effort into it you can scrape off the Velcro (and most if the adhesive )from the metal. Go to Home Depot or other hardware store with a sample of the piece you ripped off and you can find a close enough match that has a sticky backing. Cut it to size and stick it on. Good as new.... Sort of.

This has happened with mine. It's new and really not used. I have this and a second piece as well. It's annoying. I keep using glue, and hope it won't unravel itself completely.

I'll never know because I can't peel the backing off. I've tried every way I can and no luck. Maybe someone can let me know how.

As far as I know, it isn't any different from other glue traps. Maybe you can try a different strategy of where to place the traps, such as along the walls, or anywhere you see droppings.

I've had similar problem with one side often getting stuck. Solution, try using Saran Wrap to line the mold. Works every time.

If you are referring to the black plastic band looking thing, I had the same problem. I had to partially glue it in place the first time. Everytime I use it and clean it, that part comes off, but I make sure not to remove the residual glue since it makes it more tactile for when I put back together again.

I have the same issue with the Kikkerland owl mat. Don't know how to get it to stick. :(

Try spraying a little Teflon on the rope. The rope sometimes stick together from being wound too tight.

I would absolutely use super glue to keep it permanently attached. Super glue is one of my very favorite things! :)

My first question to you is, "Did you pull the black piece of tape off the sealing strip?" Hopefully, you did not. If you did, that's causing your bag to stick. Next, what bag are you using, VacMaster,FoodSaver......? If you pulled off the tape from the sealing strip you need to contact VacMaster for help.

You know, I don't really remember how I had to unpack them. Seems to me, though, there was paper between them. I don't think it was supposed to be sticky paper - it just stuck to the traps due to the heat Summer or something. If you think pulling the paper off damages the slickness of the traps, you can repair it by applying talcum powder to the surface of the traps. That much I remember for certain.
