We live with sticky traps everywhere in the house the dogs cant get to. In Missouri these little buggers are everywhere. The sticky traps are really cheap 4 for 2 dollars so if you have them in your home get some. We put several in the crawl space, attic, garage, and under all pieces of furniture that the pups cant get under. You will be shocked how many you catch. Once 1 gets on a trap others will follow as they feed on one another. |
Nanahas, thanks for the info. Where did you buy your sticky traps? I am going to invest in a few to put inside the house if I can find them. That's amazing that it lived for 6 weeks in a jar.
