Why I reached for these glue boards

A summer of persistent flies, a fall bump in crickets, and the occasional mouse nosing around the feed storage in my garage pushed me to try a bulk, low-fuss option I could stage in multiple locations at once. I went with the Catchmaster glue boards (model 60M) because I wanted something pesticide-free, quiet, and uncomplicated to deploy across a whole house and an outbuilding. After several weeks of use in kitchens, a laundry room, a basement, and the garage, I’ve got a good sense of where these boards shine—and where they require more care.

Design and setup

Each board is a simple, flat sheet with a heavy adhesive on top and a paper liner you peel back. They’re perforated so you can tear off a narrow strip and snug that glue edge directly against a baseboard; it’s a small detail, but it matters because rodents and insects typically travel with their bodies brushing a wall. The boards can also fold into a low tunnel, which helps in dusty spaces like garages and under appliances. In that tunnel configuration, the adhesive faces inwards so it stays effective longer.

Setup is as straightforward as it gets: pull the liner, place along a known travel route, and check regularly. A couple of practical notes from use:
- Don’t use the board’s own adhesive to stick it to surfaces; it will damage finishes. If you want to put one vertically, use painter’s tape or command strips to the non-adhesive underside.
- If rodents are skittish, leave the liner on for a day or two so they acclimate, then set the trap without moving it.
- In cold garages the glue can feel less tacky; warming the board to room temperature before placing helps a lot.

The footprint is modest—about 30 square inches—so you can place them almost anywhere. I staged them under the lip of the kitchen cabinets, behind a laundry machine, along basement baseboards, and at shelf edges in the garage.

Performance with insects

For crawling insects, these boards are effective. In the laundry room, which tends to attract cave/camel crickets where I live, I set three boards in a triangle around the water heater. Within a week, I had enough catches to swap in fresh boards. The tunnel fold kept lint and dust off and noticeably extended life.

With flies, placement was key. I had a pocket of activity near a back door, and setting a board on a narrow console table right along that traffic path nabbed several in a day without any bait. The big upside over electric zappers: zero smell and zero noise. If you’ve got a pet who startles at the snap and sizzle of electric traps, the silence here is a welcome difference. Odor-wise, the boards themselves have none, which is ideal for kitchens or anyone with chemical sensitivities.

For house centipedes and spiders, the boards are most effective along baseboards and in the corner junctions of storage shelves. I also tested one vertically near a ceiling corner by taping the board’s back to paneling. It caught a fly and a couple of small spiders; it would likely be even better near windows or light sources. Again, don’t rely on the board’s glue to stick to walls—you won’t like the cleanup.

Performance with mice

In the garage where I store feed, these boards did catch mice as long as they were placed tight to walls and in known runways. One tip that improved results: set the board perpendicular to a wall, with one edge touching the baseboard, and use the perforation to secure that edge so the board can’t shift. I also had success folding a board into a tunnel and placing it opening-to-wall under a bottom shelf.

There were a couple of instances where I found droppings on a board but no mouse, which I chalk up to a dusty surface reducing stickiness and a partial step that didn’t commit the animal. Two adjustments helped:
- Keep the glue face pristine—use the tunnel fold in dusty spaces, and avoid placing where sawdust, flour, or loose debris will quickly coat the adhesive.
- You can optionally add a tiny smear of peanut butter on a bottle cap in the center to encourage full contact. It’s not required, but it can reduce “toe taps.”

On the whole, these boards worked as intended for small mice. If you’re dealing with larger rodents, consider a bigger trap or a mechanical option; a strong adult rat can sometimes drag a lightweight board unless it’s very well secured.

Adhesive strength (and cleanup reality)

The adhesive is extremely strong, which is the point—but it means anything that brushes it is staying put. I had a clothing mishap that ended with a sleeve bonded to a board, and vegetable oil was the only thing that got me out of it. That’s worth remembering for accidental contact with skin, hair, or pets: saturate with cooking oil, work the glue out slowly, then wash with soap and water. Solvent sprays can help on tools or floors, but test first.

Temperature matters. The glue performs best at typical indoor temperatures. In a cold garage, bring boards inside for a bit so the adhesive is tacky when you set them.

Non-target risks and ethics

Glue boards are non-selective. Anything that touches will adhere—lizards, small snakes, even birds if used outdoors or near open garage doors. Based on that, my rules are:
- Only use indoors.
- Place well inside the footprint of shelving, under appliances, or inside the tunnel fold.
- Keep away from pet routes and kids.

If you accidentally catch a non-target animal, vegetable oil can help release it, but stress and harm are very likely. If non-target risk is high in your space, choose an enclosed mechanical trap instead.

Finally, a candid note: glue boards do not kill instantly. If you’re uncomfortable with the distress they can cause, these won’t be your preferred solution. Snap traps or enclosed electronic traps are more humane.

Longevity and maintenance

Indoors, the boards hold up for months if the adhesive stays clean. Dust and humidity are the enemies. The tunnel orientation can extend usable life considerably; so can placing on a clean, smooth surface. I check mine daily in the garage and every few days in the house. For disposal, I fold the board onto itself and drop it into a bag.

Store the unused stack flat in a cool, dry place. Heat can thin the glue; cold can harden it temporarily (recoverable once warmed).

Value and use cases

The big appeal of a 60-pack is coverage and cost per board. I could stage a serious number of placements in one go and still have a reserve. That makes them great for:
- Quickly knocking down a spike in crickets or flies.
- Monitoring where activity is heaviest before deciding on a longer-term control strategy.
- Sensitive interiors where you don’t want pesticides or the noise/scent of electric and bait-based devices.

Practical placement tips

  • Start with two boards per hotspot: one flush with a wall, one perpendicular to it.
  • Use the perforation to get the sticky edge right against the baseboard.
  • In kitchens, put boards under the toe-kick and behind appliances.
  • In garages, fold into a tunnel and place openings against walls or under shelving.
  • Label placements on a quick sketch or note app; it’s easy to forget where you put a dozen boards.
  • Wear disposable gloves to avoid transferring scent or getting adhesive on your hands.

The bottom line

I recommend these Catchmaster glue boards for indoor, targeted control of crawling insects and small mice, especially if you value a silent, odorless, and pesticide-free approach. They’re simple, effective, and cost-efficient for broad coverage around a home or shop. That said, they require thoughtful placement to avoid non-target captures, and they raise legitimate humane concerns. If you share your space with pets that roam everywhere, or if you prefer instant-kill solutions, look to enclosed snap or electronic traps instead. For careful indoor use where quiet, no-odor operation and wide deployment matter, these boards have earned a permanent spot in my pest-control kit.

Manufacture and brand the holder, sell it bundled with glue-board refills and offer placement plans for facilities that need non-toxic, low-visibility monitoring solutions.

Creative

Sticky Mosaic Panels

Use cut sections of the glue boards as a permanent tack surface to arrange very lightweight decorative elements (dried petals, seed pods, feather fragments, tiny shells, beads). Once the composition is set on the adhesive, spray-seal with a clear, archival fixative or pour a thin layer of clear epoxy/resin over the top to lock pieces in place and create textured wall panels. Great for upcycled botanical art or tactile mixed-media pieces.


Micro-Assembly Workpads

Cut the boards into small mats to keep tiny parts (beads, screws, watch parts, earring backs) from rolling away while you assemble jewelry, electronics or model kits. The heavy-duty adhesive holds parts in place but lets you reposition items during layout. Package these as a practical add-on for craft tables or hobby kits.


Temporary Hold & Paint Stand

Fold a board into a small tunnel or flat pad and use it as a temporary mounting surface to hold miniatures, ornaments, or small painted components upright for spray-painting and airbrushing. The adhesive keeps pieces steady without clamps and removes easily after painting; pair with a turntable for 360° access.


Textured Casting & Printing Tool

Press the glue face briefly into soft media (clay, plaster, light putty) to pick up an organic texture (paper fibers, sawdust, small natural debris). Then press that textured adhesive onto a casting surface to create interesting relief patterns. Use as a repeatable texture stamp for ceramics, paper-making or surface design.


Classroom Entomology Observation

For educational, supervised use, deploy glue boards to capture common household pests for identification lessons and short-term classroom observation. Mount captured specimens on labeled display cards (then ethically dispose) and use the boards to teach integrated pest management basics, monitoring techniques and species ID without insecticides.
