will the Victor Poison-free spider trap attract earwigs?

I don't think this trap necessarily attracts any bugs - I think the insects are trying find a place to hide and they get caught in these traps. If you drop a scent that would attract earwigs in the trap, it might work as an earwig trap.

The honest answer is I don't know. We get them sometimes, but I've not seen any in the traps. However,I wasn't looking for them.

I don't know if it would actually attract earwigs but it would definitely trap them if they walked onto it.

earwigs like rotting wood, if you have some old mulch, you could put a bit in the center, maybe an earwig will after it and get stuck. but the best way to use- simply put these against the wall. bugs love to move along walls, so do mice. I have had mice in mine! if you put a bit of book binder in one, you can attract silver fish. but they are basically best at just grabbing everything that moves along your wall. try one by a basement door and see how many bugs you get! its surprising and you start to by these in bulk!

I have never seen an earwig, but I do know that my spider traps attracted many insects, spiders, and even mice. The traps were strong enough that the mice was stuck until I was able to throw it out.

Haven't seen any in mine yet. I've seen everything else in there including millipedes, spiders, a few beetle-like bugs including Asian beetles, but so far haven't seen any earwigs in my house, though they are in my garage and outside. I'd almost bet they would attract the earwigs. I'm finding bugs in there that I didn't know were in my house, because of the carpet. These things are awesome, I love them.

We bought the trap late in the season and the insect population was waning but it did fill the basket with bugs and my wife who is unusually susceptible to mosquito bites was bite free after we bought the trap. In the short time that we used it, it seemed to work pretty well but the real test will be this coming summer.

My guess would be that it might catch small lizards if they crawl into it. I do not have lizard problems, so have no experience to share on that issues. It sure catches lots of bugs and spiders. I have two of these traps in every room in the house and seldom see any insects at all anymore. Good luck.

36 Traps per order. They have niice large surface and are very sturdy. I use them to keep down spider population. There are almost exactly the kind that Terminex uses for pest control in your home. I am sure they would would even catch a mouse. I put two in every room in the house. Kitchen and bathrooms are places all critters like to frequent for food and water. Spiders come out more after dark, as do mice too.T

It doesn't work. I purchased 3 & it did repel the spiders but not the mouse. I ended up buying a glue trap to get rid of it.

No. I am surprised that it traps even one fruit fly...I was very disappointed in the product.

I dont see any gnats in my traps. Just flys. A bug zapper might work. If your have problems inside the house i use a Fly Web Fly Trap. Pricey, but it work on gnats, fruit flies, and fly's.

I'm not sure if it will lure them but ifthey step on it they will be caught gaurenteed. I've caught everything from crickets and birds to snakes.

Definitely not, as long as you latch it. It's air tight when the latch is on. I have a lot of spiders, flies, and tiny gnats where I live, and never once have they gotten into the food, even when they try.

The description says the trap uses pheromone and floral lures. Those are chemical versions of the scents that attract beetles to each other and to flowers. The beetles fly to the bag, fall in and stay there until they die. There are no toxic substances involved in this method of "getting rid of" pests.

I have used these for a couple of years for Japanese beetles and these are the only thing it has trapped. I believe the bait is designed specifically for Japanese beetles so it won't attract other bugs ...

I did not use the traps for long as I have many songbirds in the garden and they were getting stuck to it - they were curious about it - thought it was something to eat. Not good. I do not have blueberry maggots so don't know about that.

Thank you for your question. Victor makes a smaller trap for mice. I have used this trap for chipmunks and ground squirrels (no rats up here). I have used both mouse and rat traps in the past, but have never had two animals at the same time. However, depending on your infestation, you may find yourself emptying it multiple times in one day.

My main focus when purchasing them was for the removal of mice-which did not work. I do not recall if I noticed any spiders.

These traps do capture SOME of the aphids. But if you're seriously infested, it's, at best, a partial solution. What I ended up doing because I also didn't want to spray was to use these sticky traps and -- don't laugh -- vacuum the leaves of the plants to remove the remaining bugs. It worked quite well.

No, the attraction smell is very specific to pantry moths. I have had two infestations, used multiple traps in multiple locations and have never caught any other type of moth or insect.

This will not attract them, but will hold them when they land. These glue boards are frequently used with a light device, which will attract some flying insects. I suggest that you do a search on what attracts black gnats.
