I apologize for answering such an old thread ( while researching something else) but please DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE STICKY TRAPS!
A garden supply store I once worked at used these to control rodents, and we caught lizards, little snakes, birds, even a kitten in one. It is a bear to get the animal out of the trap. It once took me three hours to extricate a blue belly lizard without damaging his tender skin. I had to peel the sticky stuff off the trap and leave it on the lizard, as there was no way it could be gotten off him. He had to live with a little sticky stuff on his feet and one leg, but he survived and shedded it off eventually. I hate those traps and make it my mission to throw them away whenever I find one.
