Catchmaster glue boards model numbers – 1872, 60M, 72MB

Catchmaster has different model numbers for virtually the same kind of trap. The only difference between model # 18-72 and 60M is … packing. 18-72’s are packed in envelopes with 4 traps each, while 60M is a bulk pack of 60 traps in a box. Difference in packing is for buyers convenience only. For home use it is better to get envelopes. It is easier to store them and the glue on the trap is not exposed to drying or dust. 60M’s are just slightly cheaper, and are for buyers who constantly use them (like in warehouses, stores, barns). Both 18-72 and 60M are 8” x 5.5” , while 72MB is 8” x 4”. As far as the last trap go, it is just a bit narrower than previous traps. Besides the size, trap is exactly like previous model, however it is available only for licensed exterminators. Different model numbers really are just a way to differentiate between customers. I have not found any other difference between them – glue strength, scent are exactly the same.
