I like to think I'm usually smarter than crickets, but I've accidentally touched that stuff and found out DO NOT TOUCH IT...that stuff is so sticky and very hard to get off of anything, though there is no harmful chemicals in it as best as I can tell reading the MSDS.

I'm not sure I'm smarter than spiders, I really like spiders since they catch mosquitos and flies, two other insect critters I strongly dislike. I never disrupt a spider's web outside or in my house.

I had one of the above glue strips in a crawl space under my back shed and one day I found a cute little fieldmouse stuck in it...man, it took me half hour to clean the glue off that little guy using vegetable oil and a soft tooth brush a few times, and then finally clean him off with mild detergent and send him on his way home.
