Dish soap causes the surface tension of the liquid to be way less than normal and they fall in and drown when they normally could just stand on top of the liquid.

I've trapped one so far.....only about another 50 or so to go!

Fighting that war here too. Love the little apples traps,use the juice that comes with, then refill with cider vinegar with a couple drops of dish soap. Works as good or better. Keep them in ramekins so they don't get knocked over.

If I may ...

Those little buggers are eating something. Remove their meal, and they will disappear.

We have a spot in our parking lot at work they always congregate over, no idea why, it's in the middle of a large asphalt patch, they form a ball about the size of a beach ball at my face level. I stopped parking in that area.

I got the little apples, nothing out does a jar with holes poked in the lid with a finish nail.

Fill up half a cup with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of Dawn dish washing soap.

Wrap and tape a mouse sticky pad around half of the cup. The results will amaze you. You won't need the Dawn.

You can cut the glue trap without it sticking to the scissors?

Cutting the trap is no problem. Before you pull the paper off the trap, roll up the trap to pre-form it to the cup. The tape will keep it in place.

I just had the remnants from the empty vinegar bottle in this trap but be sure to put more in yours. The large glue trap makes it unstable without the weight of the vinegar.
