<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">As long as they are sticky you are ok. I recommend in our institution we change every 6 months for sticky traps with no pheromones/food lures as by then the glue has often started to melt or they
are too dusty. We also change them more frequently if there are a number of pests or if they are dusty. Too many insects in the traps can attract and be food for other insects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
