Frequently asked questions

Unscrew the bait cup on the underside of the trap. Add bait of choice and fully twist bait cup back in turning clockwise.

Push down on the set lever until you hear a click. The set bar should stay down while activated.

To safely release, hold the trap over a trash bin with the tunnel opening pointed toward the bin. Press the set lever slightly to release the catch. The rodent will drop out without you having to touch it. (Always follow your local waste disposal regulations to ensure proper and safe handling of trapped pests.)

To safely disarm, keep one hand firmly holding the set lever. Then, use a soft object (like a piece of cardboard) to gently press down on the trigger plate around the bait cup. This will activate the trap, but with your other hand controlling the lever, you can let the jaws close slowly and safely.

Peanut butter, sunflower seeds (not shelled), chocolate, dried fruit, jerky, and dog food are some options to start with. If you notice the bait is still in tact after several days, you can consider changing the bait.

Key tip: use a bait that the rodent is used to feeding on. For example, if a rat has been eating away at your dog food, then try using the same dog food as bait.

Wear gloves and wash with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reusing.

Key tip: You don’t need to wash the trap after every use. If you remove a catch within a day, the remaining scent can actually attract other rodents, making the trap more effective.

Place traps where you have noticed rodent activity. For best results, position the tunnel parallel to the wall. Rats prefer to run along edges, not open spaces.

Check the position of the jaws or the set lever. If the jaws are closed or the lever is no longer in the “set” position, the trap has been triggered and should be inspected.

Yes, the trap can be reused multiple times. However, please note that the trap’s durability depends on factors like environment, handling, and frequency of use. Inspect the trap regularly to ensure it remains in good working condition.

Yes, the enclosed tunnel design keeps the snap mechanism inside, reducing accidental contact by pets or children.

Try changing the bait, adjusting placement closer to walls, or adding multiple traps in different locations for better coverage.

Baiting is optional, but adding a small portion of non oily bait such as seeds in the center may increase effectiveness.

Place them along walls, behind appliances, under furniture, or known active areas. Avoid dusty or wet areas.

Yes. The trap can be used outdoors, but exposure to dust, dirt, or moisture may reduce its effectiveness. If using outdoors, inspect and replace the board regularly to maintain performance.

They are effective for rats, mice, insects, lizards, and small crawling pests.

Use gloves to seal the entire board in a plastic bag and dispose of it in a trash bin. Always follow your local waste disposal regulations to ensure proper and safe handling of trapped pests.

Depending on conditions, glue traps in active use remain effective for several weeks. Replace them if covered with dust or debris.

The adhesive is non-toxic but very sticky. Keep out of reach of pets and children to avoid accidental contact.

Use cooking oil, baby oil, or vegetable oil to gently rub the adhesive off, then wash with warm soapy water.

It’s best not to cut or bend the board, as this can cause the adhesive to leak or lose effectiveness. Instead, choose a spot where the board can lay flat, or use a smaller-size glue trap.

Move the traps closer to walls or near signs of pest activity. Try adding different bait.

Tratper Glow is a plug-in indoor flying insect trap designed to help attract and capture common flying insects using light attraction and replaceable adhesive cards. It is made for indoor use in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, pantries, and other spaces where flying insects may appear.

Tratper Glow is designed to help capture common indoor flying insects such as fruit flies, gnats, house flies, moths, mosquitoes, and other small flying insects.

Results may vary depending on room conditions, placement, lighting, airflow, and insect activity.

No. Tratper Glow does not use chemical sprays, odors, or messy liquids. Flying insects are attracted by the light and captured on the replaceable adhesive card inside the device.

For best results, place Tratper Glow in areas where flying insects are commonly seen, such as near fruit bowls, trash cans, recycling areas, sinks, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or pantries.

Avoid placing the device near bright lights, open windows, or strong airflow, as these may affect performance.

Start by using Tratper Glow with the back card installed as shown in the instructions. In some rooms, the back card may provide added catching surface and improve results.

However, the back card does not always increase catches. In some areas, removing the back card may improve airflow or insect access and lead to better results.

For best results, test both setups for a few days and continue using the setup that works better in your space.

Flying insect activity can vary depending on the room, placement, lighting, airflow, and the type of insects present. Because every home environment is different, one setup may perform better in one location while another setup may work better somewhere else.

If catch results are low, try moving the trap or testing it with and without the back card.

Tratper Glow is designed for continuous indoor use. For best results, keep the device plugged in and operating regularly, especially in areas where flying insects are active.

It may take several days to notice improved results, depending on insect activity and placement.

Replace the adhesive card when it becomes full, dusty, or less sticky. For normal use, check the card regularly and replace it as needed.

If insect activity is high, you may need to replace the refill more often.

Tratper Glow is designed for indoor household use and does not use sprays or chemical odors. As with any plug-in device, keep it out of reach of children and pets, avoid water or damp areas, and use only as directed.

Try the following steps:

• Move the device closer to where insects are active.
• Keep nearby windows and doors closed.
• Reduce competing light sources, especially at night.
• Make sure the adhesive card is fresh and properly installed.
• Test both setups: with the back card and without the back card.
• Allow the trap to run continuously for several days.

Catch results can vary, so adjusting placement and setup can help improve performance.
