Yes, spider traps are available, and most indoor options are sticky glue boards that catch spiders when they cross the adhesive surface. TERRO’s 10-pack is best for flexible placement, S&T INC.’s 30-pack suits buyers who need many traps, and Catchmaster’s 12-pack is a pesticide-free option designed for placement along pest pathways. These traps can also catch other crawling insects, but they work only when pests reach the glue.

TERRO Spider & Insect Trap
This 10-pack uses sticky glue boards to capture spiders and other insects. The traps can be placed flat to provide a larger exposed catch area or folded into a box shape to conceal caught pests. Suggested placement areas include baseboards, corners, behind doors, and under furniture, including in basements and attics.
Best for: People who want to choose between an open glue board and a more concealed folded design. It was selected for its specific placement guidance and flexible format. The limitation is that, like other glue traps, it catches pests only if they encounter the adhesive.
S&T INC. Insect Traps
S&T INC. provides 30 traps for indoor pest control. The listed features say the traps catch spiders, ants, cockroaches, crickets, and other crawling insects. The product is described as non-toxic and pesticide-free and is intended to catch brown recluse, black widow, and hobo spiders.
Best for: Buyers who want a larger quantity to distribute among several rooms or locations. The pack size is its key advantage compared with the other options here. The product information does not describe a foldable design or give specific placement instructions, so check the trap format before choosing if concealment matters.
TERRO T3206SR Indoor Traps
These TERRO sticky traps are designed to capture spiders, roaches, and other crawling insects, including the three spider types named in the product features: brown recluse, black widow, and hobo spiders. The listing describes a 12-count package and says the traps can be distributed across multiple rooms.
Best for: Households looking for traps intended to catch both spiders and other crawling pests in more than one area. This option was selected for its multi-pest purpose and stated room coverage. The listed information does not explain whether traps fold or provide detailed placement directions.
Catchmaster Spider & Insect Traps
Catchmaster’s 12-pack consists of ready-to-use, pesticide-free glue boards that do not require insect or roach bait. The product instructions recommend leaving the protective paper on initially so pests can acclimate, then placing traps along known or suspected pest pathways and against walls. The listing says traps may last up to one year in normal indoor conditions.
Best for: Buyers who want pesticide-free glue boards and clear pathway-based placement guidance. It was selected for its stated use without bait and its instructions for positioning. The listed lifespan depends on normal conditions, and the traps still need to be placed where pests are likely to travel.
TRAP A PEST Indoor Sticky Traps
This 16-pack is described as non-toxic, poison-free, and insecticide-free. To use a trap, peel back the paper covering the glue, fold it, and place it glue-side up against a wall. The listing says it is intended to catch spiders of all species and insects, including brown recluse, black widow, and hobo spiders.
Best for: People who prefer a foldable trap with a simple setup and want to avoid insecticide-based products. It was selected for its clear peel, fold, and place instructions. Since the adhesive is exposed, place traps where household members and pets are less likely to touch them.
Buying Guide: How To Choose Spider Traps
Do you need flat traps or folded traps?
Flat glue boards expose a larger catch area, while folded designs can conceal caught pests. Check the product’s listed format if appearance or concealment is important. TERRO’s 10-pack and TRAP A PEST specifically describe flat or folded use.
How many traps should you buy?
Choose a pack size based on the number of rooms and likely pest pathways you want to cover. A larger pack can help distribute traps across more locations, but placement matters: consider corners, wall edges, baseboards, and areas where spiders have been seen.
Do you want pesticide-free traps?
Several options in this selection are explicitly described as non-toxic, pesticide-free, or insecticide-free. Compare the product details for the exact wording. Sticky traps capture pests mechanically; they do not repel spiders or prevent them from entering a room.
Where should indoor spider traps go?
Place traps along walls and in areas where spider activity has been observed, following the product instructions. Avoid placing them where people or pets may contact the glue. Check traps regularly and replace them when they are full, dusty, or no longer usable.
Spider Trap FAQs
Are there traps made specifically for spiders?
Yes. Many indoor spider traps are sticky glue boards made to catch spiders and other crawling insects that cross the adhesive.
Do spider traps use poison?
Some listed options are described as pesticide-free or non-toxic. Check each product’s details rather than assuming all glue traps have the same formulation.
Do spider traps catch other bugs?
Yes. The products here also list crawling pests such as ants, cockroaches, and crickets among the insects they can catch.
Where is the best place to put a spider trap?
Place it along a wall, baseboard, corner, or suspected pest pathway where spider activity has been noticed. Follow the product’s directions and keep the adhesive away from accidental contact.
Will a spider trap keep spiders from entering my home?
No. A glue trap catches pests that reach it; it does not block entry or act as a repellent.
