Too much risk of harm to non target animals along with a windy day can
ruin the glue boards with dirt and debris blown on them. .

My garden seems to have more now than last month, but not too bad as
yet. occassioally one or two seem to get in to the house ...by
osmosis???G and when they do, i spray them with either hair spray or
detergent and that gets them and is safe for the environment. I
dislike killing the little buggers as i visualize Jimminy Cricket of
Pinnochio fame with his little green top hat but the little boogers
eat holes in my quilts and blankets if i allow them to stay in the
house. I also use hair spray to elimminate the occasional roach who
gets beyond my boraxo barrier.
