The Original Bug Coaster line of coasters and bait trays — Built to commercial standards, these products can withstand up to 3,000 pounds of pressure, are cost-effective, durable and reusable for years of service. By placing Bug Coasters in strategic areas throughout the establishment, you or your clients can easily monitor for any potential infestations. Since crawling pests are trapped inside the coaster device, you will be able to properly assess the problem and increase the efficiency of the eradication process. The attractant trays are built to insert into the 4-inch round coasters, to allow you to use whatever bait or pheromone you prefer.
