How It Works

The RESCUE! Spider Trap is ready right out of the box -- just place it where spiders are typically found indoors. With four entrances and hundreds of glue dots, spiders will travel to the interior of the trap instead of merely congregating on the edges. This design allows many more spiders to be caught. And with two sides of glue, a quick flip of the trap keeps you in the spider-catching business.

Pet Safety

Our Spider Traps have a glue dot pattern which allows more spiders to be caught before it is time to replace it. The decorative plastic shield protects animals from having easy access to the glue dots. However, if you or an animal happen to come in contact with the glue, gently pull the trap away and the adhesive will release. Use petroleum jelly, baby oil, mineral oil, or another petroleum-based product to remove any adhesive residue.

What It Catches

The RESCUE! Spider Trap catches a variety of biting and poisonous spiders common in the home, including: black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, sac spiders, hobo spiders, jumping spiders and wolf spiders.

Where To Place It

Traps should be placed where spiders are normally found indoors.

Good locations for the trap:

  • Against wall or baseboard
  • Under toe kicks
  • Around doorways
  • Behind toilets
  • Behind or underneath furniture
  • Basements or crawl spaces

The RESCUE! Spider Trap can be used any time of year when spiders are present in the home.

The Spider Trap is effective against a wide variety of common household and potentially dangerous spiders — including black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, hobo spiders, sac spiders, jumping spiders, wolf spiders, and other typical indoor arachnids. It will also catch many other crawling critters, including centipedes, silverfish, earwigs, and more.
The trap uses a “glue dot” adhesive pattern on the inside of a decorative plastic shell. Spiders crawl through one of four entrances into the dark interior and become stuck on the glue. Because the glue is on both sides of the interior, you can flip it over and continue using it once one side becomes full.
Place the trap indoors where spiders frequent — against baseboards or walls, under furniture or cabinets, behind toilets, near doorways, under sinks, in closets, basements, crawlspaces or other dark corners and quiet areas.
The RESCUE! Spider Trap has narrow openings that reduce the chance of curious pets or little hands getting stuck on the glue, though we still recommend placing these traps in areas that are not easily accessible to pets or children.
The trap remains effective until the glue surfaces are full (or no longer sticky) — when one side is used up, you can flip the trap over for additional use. After both sides are used, dispose of or replace the trap.
Yes — the Spider Trap is designed to catch a range of spider sizes, from small common house spiders to larger and potentially venomous spiders (e.g., black widows, brown recluse, wolf spiders).
No — the Spider Trap is ready to use straight out of the box. There’s no assembly required: simply place it where spiders are likely to travel.
Yes — because you can see how many spiders get caught, the trap can function as a monitoring tool, helping you determine how active the spider population is and where they’re frequenting in your home. This can guide you to seal gaps, reduce clutter, or apply additional control measures.
Once one side is full, flip the trap to use the second glue side. When both sides are used, dispose of the trap in regular trash. Replace with a new trap if spider activity continues.
The RESCUE! Spider Trap doesn't use any killing agents. Once spiders are caught on the glue, they eventually dehydrate and die naturally. There are chemical sprays involved, making it a great option for spider control inside the home.
