Question 1

does this have something on it to attract cockroaches, or should I put sugar on it?

Accepted Answer

attract cockroaches without sugar.

Question 2

This question is for the manufacturer, Tomcat. What is the effective temperature range(s) of your different glue trap products?

Accepted Answer

Do not use near heat or flame source or in a place where it would get very hot, such as beside a heater or under a stove. The adhesive will not be effective under freezing temperatures, it will freeze and will not stick until thawed.

Question 3

how do I clean the glue off my Roomba's wheel?  Roomba ran over the glue trap on the floor and the glue got o the wheel and won't come off

Accepted Answer

I don't feel that I have enough information to help you out, but here are a couple of suggestions. First, if you can remove the wheel from the Roomba, I'd stick the wheel in a zip lock bag and throw it in the freezer overnight. In the morning, you may be able to peel the frozen glue off of the wheel if you're lucky (this freezing technique can be useful for removing chewing gum from items - the glue on the mouse trap is totally different than gum, of course, but the freezing technique may still help). If you can't peel off the frozen glue, maybe you can try to scrape it off with a knife or something similar while the glue is still frozen and hard. Another suggestion is to use a good solvent, such as acetone or mineral spirits. You can usually find mineral spirits in a Walmart, on their house paint isle - the stuff is pretty cheap and it is not volatile, so you won't get a bad smell in your home. The only problem is that the acetone and/or mineral spirits might damage the Roomba wheel, depending on what the wheel is made from. A final suggestion is, if you can remove the wheel, maybe you can just purchase a new wheel? Try calling the manufacturer to see if they can help you with this. You'd be surprised. Some manufacturers are quite helpful to their customers - they may even be able to send you a new wheel for free. You can go on "www.irobot.com" to chat with their customer support, of you can call the company on 1-877-855-8593. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this situation and I hope that you can figure it out soon.

Question 4

Does anyone know how to get this glue off of carpeting?

Accepted Answer

Absorb as much of the spill as possible, using towels or rags. Steam clean or shampoo the contaminated surfaces. Consider professional cleaning. Discard all materials used to clean the spill and all materials destroyed by the spill in a large, heavy duty, plastic garbage bag.
