A trap house is a place where illegal drugs are sold and consumed. It is also known as a drug house, crack house, or trap spot. Trap houses are usually abandoned homes located in low-income areas. They are often rented, owned, or squatted in purely for the sake of selling drugs. Trap houses can also be used to synthesize drugs or store products and ingredients. Drug dealers supply drugs to users in trap houses. It is difficult for the police to catch the dealers because they move around frequently. Trap houses are associated with a wide range of negative social and health issues, including drug addiction, crime, poverty, and violence.
