A 24-count glue-trap arsenal that catches anything that crawls across it — and nothing crawls off.

If you want one product that covers your whole house in a single order, this is it. Each trap measures 5 x 10 inches — larger than most — and uses an ultra-strong glue that stays sticky for up to a full year, even in cold or humid spots.

Buyers report one clear warning: the glue is extremely sticky — one reviewer noted a trap got stuck to their fridge and was impossible to remove. That same tenacity is exactly why crickets, spiders, roaches, and even mice cannot escape once they step onto the board. The traps come pre-baited with a molasses and fruity scent that draws crickets in, and they are 100% non-toxic, so you can put them anywhere kids or pets roam.

Unlike the granular Bonide bait that works over weeks, these traps give you instant visual confirmation — you see what you caught, and you toss it when full. The perforated design lets you split each large trap into two smaller ones if needed, effectively stretching your 24-count to 48 stations.

The organic garden bait that kills crickets and slugs without hurting your strawberry plants.

This is the one to grab if you are fighting crickets in your vegetable bed or around fruit trees. The active ingredients are iron phosphate and spinosad — both natural compounds approved for organic gardening — so you can sprinkle it right around your tomato plants without worrying about chemicals soaking into your produce. The 1.5-pound bag covers up to 3,000 square feet, while the Nisus NiBan-FG is a 1-pound container, making Bonide the better choice for larger outdoor areas.

Crickets, earwigs, slugs, and snails are all lured in by the pellet form and die after feeding. One application lasts up to four weeks, and the label says people and pets can re-enter the area immediately after application. Owners mention that it works fast — one buyer mentioned it “solved my issue” with pests destroying seedlings — though another noted that slugs came back a week and a half later, meaning you should expect to reapply if the infestation is heavy.

The granules are easy to scatter by hand or with a small spreader. Apply at a rate of about 0.5 to 1 pound per 1,000 square feet for best results. Unlike the LULUCATCH glue traps that only catch what runs across them, this bait treats the whole garden perimeter and keeps working for weeks after a single application.

The bait that decimated one buyer’s camel cricket population from 20-30 down to 3-4 per week.

This is your pick when crickets are living in damp basements, crawl spaces, or any area where standard baits turn into mush. NiBan-FG uses orthoboric acid — a naturally derived borate that disrupts the cricket’s nutritional processes — in a fine granular form that stays effective in humidity, heat, and sunlight without degrading. One owner reported a “significant reduction” in camel crickets over a month, dropping from 20-30 per week to just 3-4, and noted that baby crickets were completely eliminated.

Because it is a bait, crickets eat it and then carry it back to their harborage, sharing it with others — this colony-spread effect is something glue traps cannot do. The formula is odorless and safe for use in kitchens, aviaries, and around pets. One reviewer did mention that the squeeze applicator was difficult to use, so you may want to pick up a shaker container for easier spreading.

The key difference from the LULUCATCH traps: you will not see instant kills. Baits take days to weeks as the crickets feed, return to their hiding spots, and die. But the long-term result — a 90% reduction in weekly cricket sightings, per that same buyer — is harder to achieve with traps alone.

The trap-and-bait combo that surprised one apartment dweller with the sheer number of bugs they were actually living with.

BugMD takes a hybrid approach: each trap comes with a separate food bait tablet made from shrimp powder, starch, and brown sugar that you place on the sticky pad. Crickets, roaches, and spiders are lured by the scent, then stuck fast to the “PermaGlue” surface. At 0.35 kilograms, the box is about half the weight of the LULUCATCH 24-pack (0.74 kilograms), which makes sense since you get 12 traps instead of 24. One customer observed they “had only seen a few cockroaches” but were “surprised at the amount” caught after putting the traps down — a common reality check for anyone dealing with a hidden infestation.

Setup takes under a minute per trap: peel the adhesive covering, drop a bait tablet in the center, fold the pre-folded trap into its tent shape, and place it where you see cricket activity. The traps are non-toxic, making them suitable for kitchens and under sofas where you might worry about pets. Some users replace the included bait with banana or peanut butter to boost attraction — a trick that seems to work even better for roaches and crickets alike.

Unlike the JT Eaton traps that rely purely on scented glue, BugMD’s bait tablet gives you an extra lure that you can refresh. But the trap count (12) is half of LULUCATCH’s 24, so for a whole-house infestation you may need two packs.

The tried-and-true basement trap that has been catching spider crickets for one homeowner for eight straight years.

JT Eaton has been making pest-control products since 1932, and this glue trap is the result of that experience. Each trap measures 10 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, with a scented glue that specifically attracts crickets and spiders. The glue is non-drying and non-flowing, meaning it stays sticky across a wide range of temperatures, including cold basement floors — and buyers confirm this, with one noting the traps fit into small spaces better than other brands. Another buyer mentioned they caught two mice with these traps in their garage, proof of the glue’s strength.

The design includes a plastic edge that keeps your fingers away from the glue during handling — a small detail that multiple reviewers appreciated. One long-term buyer says they have relied on these traps for eight years to handle spider crickets in their basement, calling them “tried, true and effective.”

If you have a specific cricket hotspot — a basement corner, a garage window, a crawl space entrance — these traps are a proven solution that requires no bait, no setup, and no chemicals. The trade-off is simple: fewer traps per box, so you pay more per station than the LULUCATCH 24-pack.
