Glue Board "Tunnel" Catches Insects MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 31-1-40 Editor's note: An anonymous reader sent us the following note:

I figured these pests would have to use the doorway for moving about. But doorways are too wide. Then I hit on the idea of building a threshold with a controlled passageway, which would require that pests use it when going from room to room.
I started with a 1-in. thick wooden board, and built it up at both ends with shorter pieces of 1-in. boards, spacing the pieces out just wide enough to make a tunnel where I could insert a Catchmaster glue board. It really catches crickets and other bugs. It'll even catch snakes, mice, and other pests.
