How do Spider traps work? The secret to effectively trap a spider is having several traps. Spiders tend to hide in small spaces, and they don't roam too far. So several spider glue traps in an area can be more effective than a single spider trap.

Catchmaster Spider Traps in Action

Brown Recluse spider infestations are difficult to eliminate; however, research at the University of Kansas has shown that "effective population management is possible" using Catchmaster brown recluse spider traps. Brown Recluse spiders will run into glue traps for cover when they sense danger is present.

Spider glue traps work by trapping the spider by even a single leg in the super sticky glue of the spider trap. Whether tracking common spiders, or the dangerous Hobo spider and Brown Recluse spiders, traps are useful to identify the spiders you catch. This use of brown recluse spider traps will improve home safety by better spider recognition and avoidance of venomous spiders.
Spider glue traps can get rid of spiders in places where it may not be safe to spray poison pesticides such as inside food cabinets, or office environments.

Spider Pest Control Information

Spider Control

Household Spider Infestation Control of the brown recluse spider can take a long time (6 months or more) and can be difficult because people have a very low tolerance for this pest, it tends to be widely dispersed within infested buildings, and it seeks secluded sites. Spider Control including the common house spiders, hobo spiders, and brown recluse spiders is best achieved by following an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. IPM involves using multiple approaches such as preventive measures, exclusion, sanitation, brown recluse spider traps and chemical treatment when necessary.


Non-chemical control

  • Use brown recluse spider traps to capture spiders.
  • Dust and vacuum thoroughly to remove spiders, webs, and egg sacs (dispose of the vacuum bag in a container outdoors).
  • Use a rolled up newspaper or fly swatter to kill individual spiders.

Preventing spider bites

  • Shake out clothing and shoes before getting dressed, common and recluse spiders can hide in tight spaces
  • Inspect bedding and towels before use.
  • Wear gloves when handling firewood, lumber, and rocks (be sure to inspect the gloves for spiders before putting them on).
  • Remove bed skirts and storage boxes from underneath beds. Move the bed away from the wall.
  • Exercise care when handling cardboard boxes (brown recluse spiders often are found in the space under folded cardboard flaps).

Spider Exclusion

  • Install tight-fitting screens on windows and doors; also install door sweeps.
  • Seal or caulk cracks and crevices where spiders can enter the house.
  • Install yellow or sodium vapor light bulbs outdoors since these attract fewer insects for spiders to feed upon.
  • Tape the edges of cardboard boxes to control spider entry.
  • Use plastic bags (sealed) to store loose items in the garage, basement, and attic.

Sanitation to improve spider control

  • Remove trash, old boxes, old clothing, wood piles, rock piles, and other unwanted items.
  • Eliminate clutter in closets, basements, attics, garages, and outbuildings.
  • Do not stack wood against the house.
  • Clean up dead insects that the brown recluse spider can feed on.
