Our building has eight levels, and I check traps on each level throughout a quarter. So, for instance, on week 1 I check traps on the top level, on week 2 I check the next level down, then I'll skip a week, then on week 4 I'll check the next level. This way I have a constant eye on things without overwhelming myself by going over hundreds of traps in one week. Like many of you, I have too many duties to dedicate a whole week to bug traps.
