There are about 3,400 species of spiders in North America. Treatments will vary from species to species. Therefore, glue-based monitors can be an effective tool. Well-placed monitors can help you identify the exact species you may face on a property, and inform your treatment protocol.

Using monitors can save you time and money. Not only will you be certain you are applying the right treatment, you will be able to monitor effectiveness over time and adjust as required, leading to material savings. Remember, monitors can provide clues on location, direction of travel and life stage.

If you are deploying monitors in areas that accumulate a lot of debris, use a monitor that can be folded for cover.
