Is there a strategy to Trap Spiders?
The question often comes up of whether a single big spider trap is better than several small spider traps? The answer in this case is the opposite of prevailing wisdom, small spider traps are better than big spider traps.
Why are smaller spider traps better?
Well technically, a smaller spider trap is not better than a big spider trap if we are talking about buying just 1 spider trap. The secret to spider traps is that spiders don’t wander very far, so the odds of catching any spider are increased when you have more than 1 trap, so your odds of catching a spider with 4 traps are 400% better than trapping a recluse or hobo spider with 1 spider trap.
Small Spider Traps cost less
So if your odds are better with more traps, why not just buy more big spider traps? You could.. but it gets expensive. Typically smaller spider traps cost less; Cleaner Today runs a Spider Trap Special with 60 spider traps for under $30 delivered. At 50 cents a trap you can buy 4 times as many traps as a big spider trap might cost.
Four times more traps, 400% better spider trapping odds, and for the same cost! That’s why smaller spider traps are better spider traps!
