Silverfish Trap — 12 Pack | Sticky Indoor Glue Trap for Silverfish, Firebrat, and Other Bugs and Crawling Insects | Adhesive Silverfish Killer Paks, Monitor, and Detector with Natural Bait Attractant

These silverfish traps work great! They’re easy to set up, and the natural bait attractant does its job. Within days, I noticed a significant reduction in silverfish and other crawling insects. The 20-pack provides plenty of coverage for the house. Highly recommend!

The traps are extremely sticky, but for some reason, the bottom panel warps up once it’s assembled, so that the floor of the trap is no longer flush with the ground. Silverfish simply go under the trap instead of into it. I picked one up and a silverfish scuttled out from under it. I picked up another trap and the bottom had bowed so far upward that it was stuck to the top of the trap. After four days in a kitchen infested enough to make me buy these traps, only one of the three traps had caught a single silverfish. It’s just not well-designed. We had a different kind of silverfish trap previously that worked much better. Sadly, I can’t find those anymore.

Works real good

The product doesn’t claim it attracts silverfish and other bugs, and it doesn’t. You do have to place them in a location that sees bug traffic. After separating two traps along the perforated line I spend maybe a minute taking the warp out of the base plus pre folding the sides and getting the “hook” to fit in the “slot “ on the opposite side of the top section, all before removing the “wax paper “ from the adhesive. The adhesive material is super sticky and if you accidentally touch it to the top of the trap you’ll never get it unstuck. Same if you accidentally step on it after placing it on the floor. The bases are always warped from the surface tension of the adhesive, so the base will have an arc shape which doesn’t touch the floor unless you bend the base slightly in the opposite direction before exposing the adhesive. There is a slight chemical smell from the adhesive when your nose is close during setup, but it’s less noticeable when placed on the floor and goes away in a couple days. I think they are useful to use for trapping, along with chemical insecticide outside to kill/repel bugs.

So far, its been around one week and I have placed the traps in 11 different locations throughout the house. I hope to catch the worlds largest silverfish but so far, just spiders. I think the scent of the trap drives them away?

These easily catch silverfish, as long as you put them in a spot where you have seen them active. I have some that haven't caught any but some that have caught a few in the same time. I rotate them out to keep them fresh, they do seem to catch more at the beginning of their life. Easy to use, toss, and start fresh.

Love how easy it was to set up these traps. No fuss and no contact. I feel safe handling them and placing them where I need them!

The trap doesn’t seem to attract silverfish. If the silverfish enters the trap, it will kill the silverfish.
