Dear Mandy,

That cost sounds quite high.  These traps are made by Atlantic Paste and Glue Company.  The name of the trap is the Gluee Louee mouse and insect trap model 150MBGL. Atlantic paste is on the web.  You would have to buy through one of their reps but I paid $35.00 for about 150 traps.

We check our traps every month and only have the bug guys come in the summer to do some preventative spraying. ( I am by no means advocating this particular method) I note the types, locations,and numbers of bugs caught. With anything I am unsure of I work with an entomologist from Iowa State who will Identify them for free as part of an outreach program they have. (I think many ag related colleges will do this). As for the traps I buy ours through Metal Edge. They have a lot of nice stuff but can be rude. There number is 1-800-862-2228. The cost is $10.20 a doz. when you buy 3 or more, but each one breaks into 3 individual traps so you really get more than it sounds like.
