Mixed Results for Pest Control
The instructions provided are not clear, which may make setup or use difficult. The trap did catch a number of bugs, but the only snake that was caught managed to escape. This suggests the product may work for insects but is not fully effective for snakes. Overall, results are mixed: it captures some pests but fails to reliably contain larger ones.
Cons
- − instructions not clear
- − snake escaped

Large trap, high price, outdoor concerns
This box trap is very large. It costs around 80 dollars, and an additional 12 dollars is charged for shipping, which seems excessive for a box with three sticky pads. The main concern is outdoor use: rain can enter the box and the sticky pad may lose its stickiness. Overall, it is considered too expensive.
Cons
- − very large size
- − high price
- − extra shipping cost
- − rain can enter the box
- − sticky pad may lose stickiness outdoors

Effective trap, but not catch-and-release
Place the trap on the ground before inserting the glue pad, as the pad can stick to the trap's roof during repositioning. A stuck pad can be removed by warming the trap in the sun and applying vegetable oil. The trap caught a two-foot banded water snake the next afternoon. This is not a catch-and-release trap; be prepared to euthanize the snake to prevent a slow death. Removing a live snake with oil is possible in theory but likely to injure or kill it.
Pros
- + Caught a snake quickly
- + Stuck glue pad can be removed with sun and vegetable oil
Cons
- − Glue pad can stick to trap roof if placed before positioning
- − Not a catch-and-release trap
- − Removing a live snake may injure or kill it

Trap works well, but snakes haven't entered
This trap is used in a basement where snakes have been seen. So far, the snakes have not gone into the trap. The trap appears to work well, though the reason the snakes have not entered it is unclear. It has not yet caught any snakes in this situation.
Cons
- − snakes have not entered the trap

Effective and easy to use, but price increased
This product works well and is easy to use. The top can be lifted by the tie to check contents, and the glue pad is easy to dispose of. Anything that gets on the glue pad stays there. The price has increased by $10 compared to last year, which is disappointing. Two were purchased last year and two more were recently ordered.
Pros
- + easy to use
- + easy to check contents by lifting top
- + easy to dispose of glue pad
- + glue pad retains anything that gets on it
Cons
- − price increased by $10 from last year
