do you need to put powder and anything inside the cups? Some I know tested these and claim did not work; bugs climbed out with just coaster.

Yes Arlene, Word of WARNING, if you need to RETURN any unopened products from "Etailz" (KLEEN GREEN NATURALLY, for laundry affected) or "Jaurasee" for the PET PISTOL/POWDER "like I did via UPS on 2.24, they will keep your return and not refund you . They are crooks. Otherwise, no worries. you use Thomas Labs (avail here in 3lb.container)in both your vacuum and place four of these bugs strategically round four corners of bed. They are tricky little rascals, even though I ended up with APHIDS, thank God, have had pals go thru this mess. The powder kills them on contact. They also detest DRYER SHEETS??? Also, they hate alcohol so continue spraying your carpets; furnishings;bedding with pure rubbing alcohol for a month. All clothing must be washed in special detergent, bleach DOES NOT KILL THEM. Other clothing removed from home for dry cleaning. They permeate your life. Get the "BEDLAM" sprays (two large bottles for 35.00 here)and treat all mattresses. I threw out (thinking had bed bugs but did not)550.00 of memory foam bedding. OUCH. Be sure you plan on keeping the products mentioned as they will steal your money and not refund you, and vacuum each day after spraying. It is major hassle and I feel for you.

You need to put boric acid or diatomaceous earth in the cups. Both are available in Amazon. They have worked fine for me.

Strange... I got a sheet of instructions with mine. Just put it under the furniture. There really isn't much too it. I believe the cups are already dusted with talcum powder, but you can add more if you think it's lacking.

I haven't had a problem with mine since I bought it. I dampened each cup with a little water, and they stuck. However, if you tug at the cups, of course, the suction will break. If you don't have unruly children the table will, probably, be o.k. Mine is, usually, covered with papers, and I pick it up and move it around. It is light weight. You can, probably, apply some type of permanent adhesive by going to someplace like Home Depot; Quite likely you won't need it. The frosted side of the glass is meant to be face up.

If you pull them from the box and don't get cups till you are there, maybe. Plus make sure there is zero air in them

I mainly use my coasters with cold and noticed that the water pooling did cause some damage. It seems hot might cause an indent or melt. :-/

If you don't use a spray you push the cup from the bottom to remove what's in it. If you use a spray, they slide right out without pushing up. Hope that helps.

Yes. But the powder must stay dry. If you have crickets in a very damp basement, it won't work.

The majority of my contents is coffe grinds, tea bags & contents. It does not harm the inside. I do let the stuff dry on a plate before putting in. Wet coffee grinds has a tendency to mold quickly.

Yes, but not really. I bet if you sprayed the cups with cooking oil, they would release jello easier. I just use a finger/straw/tongue to loosen up the sides, then shots will slide right out. Yes, you can squeeze them, but not to the effect that you'd expect.

I didn't have a problem with this. You may want to put them in a cup hold with the tip down for a little while - somewhere like on a table under a lamp (not close) - just to warm them up a bit...... Also with the sorbet set, I found that I had to wipe the tip from time to time. Hope this helps.

Whether or not the caster cups stay with the wheels (or the wheels roll over the caster cups) really depends on the floor surface on which the caster cups will be sitting. On a hard floor surface, for example, the cup is likely to slide on any dust/dirt that might be present. If you want something with more staying power, you might try silicone. I have used silicone drink coasters under furniture that needs to stay put, and those do work.

I have without any problems. Just like with any liquid, don't fill them too full.

My opinion is that they should be placed in a paper bag instead. It is less likely that they will develop mold. Even then, they may have some mold on them when you return. Get them in the ground as soon as possible and you will be fine.Mr. E.

I wondered the same thing. When I first filled it I put the water in one of those little medicine cups and dropped it inside the unit. No steam came out when I turned it on. So I went back to the video on Amazon and realized, yes, you pour water directly into the holder with the hole down the middle. Then you add the cup with medicine if you wish. I didn't put the medicine cup back inside, just turned it on and it worked.MHD-Texas

Yes. You need to load the orangish colored darts similar to how you'd load bullets into a revolver. This has caused a bit of frustration with my kids when they run around with the gun loaded, but facing down to the floor...some of the darts can fall out. I'd recommend a clip-loaded dart gun instead.

I made coasters with mine and I do put hot coffee/tea on it from time to time, no wear or tear on them yet and we've had them for almost two years.

There are plastic coasters on ours and then we put the felt glue-on on top of those. Also, not sure if the plastic coasters were on when purchased or if we put those on too. Purchased a year ago and no problems with them.
