Insect traps are devices designed to capture or kill insects, helping to control pest populations in homes and gardens. They come in various forms, including sticky traps, bait traps, and electric traps, each targeting specific types of insects like ants, flies, or mosquitoes. These traps often use attractants, such as food or pheromones, to lure insects in. Once the insects enter the trap, they are unable to escape, allowing for easy disposal. Insect traps are a popular choice for pest management because they are generally safe to use around humans and pets when used as directed.
