What is a good monitoring and treatment product that can be placed on the inside of garage doors?

• A. Glueboards
• B. Dyna Traps
• C. Granulation
• D. Peanut Butter

Answer: (A)

Glueboards are an ideal pick for monitoring and treatment when you want something you can place on the inside of a garage door. They’re simple, flat adhesive surfaces that pests can’t escape from once they step onto them. As a monitoring tool, they give you a visible read on what’s active in that doorway area, and as a treatment measure, they physically remove the insects that cross the threshold.

Placed where door traffic is highest, glueboards catch crawling pests like cockroaches and ants as they try to move through, providing immediate feedback and reducing pest numbers. They’re inexpensive, easy to deploy, and require little maintenance, which makes them practical for door-ways.

Dyna Traps are electric traps that rely on light and placement considerations, which may not align perfectly with a doorway setup. Granulation is a pesticide formulation designed for soil or cracks, not a surface inside a door. Peanut butter is not a professional monitoring device and can create mess or attract more pests.
