It used to be a common strategy to poke or stab things to see what is real and what wants to hurt you, I think stranger things even touched on it a bit.

Yeah ten foot poles were standard gear for a reason.

I don't really like traps too much as a DM, it seems too easy to make a lethal trap (at least in a fantasy setting) and why would the makers bother with a non-lethal one?

10ft "poles" indeed sir.

Eh same sorta, gotta play the trope and that trope be traps.
