Pest Expert Rat Glue Traps / Rat Glue Boards provide a fast and effective method of rodent control, particularly useful in situations where other methods have either failed or are not suitable. PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY Only professional users with clearly defined proof of competence already in place can apply to Natural England for a licence. Areas of potential use are greatly restricted. Details of how to apply for a licence, what is considered as proof of competence and example areas of potential use can be accessed via the following link : https://www.gov.uk/guidance/glue-trap-licences#qualifications-to-hold-a-glue-trap-licence Any unlicensed use of rodent glue boards in England is illegal from 31st July 2024. Use of rodent glue boards in Wales by any type of user was made illegal from 17th October 2023.
Made from heavy-duty plasticised board with an extra strong adhesive to ensure effective trapping. These professional standard glue traps measure 34 x 22cm, making them larger than most glue traps on the market and allowing multi-catch potential from a single board.
Unlike other control methods, which rely upon rodents taking bait, rat glue boards simply trap rats as they run over the board, becoming stuck to the extra-strong adhesive.
Rat Glue Traps are widely used by professional pest controllers, although generally considered to be a last resort method for dealing with rat infestations. Rat Glue Boards are ideal for situations where rats have an alternate food source, which often hampers control efforts using poison, for example in restaurants, bakeries, shops and food processing plants. The virtually non-drying adhesive means that these glue traps can remain effective for months in normal conditions.
Upon discovery of a caught mouse or rat, please be sure to dispatch captured rodents as quickly and humanely as possible.
How to Use Pest Expert Rat Glue Traps
For the best results from your rat glue trap follow the guidelines below:
1. All other options for rodent control must be considered before glue traps are used.
2. Carefully peel off the backing paper, being careful not touch the adhesive.
3. Place glue traps about 2-3 metres apart in areas where mouse activity has been noticed. For best results, lay flat against walls, along rodent runs and near potential points of entry.
4. DO NOT bait the traps as this may have a negative effect.
5. Glue traps are not suitable for use in damp conditions or in very low temperatures.
6. Glue traps MUST BE inspected every 12 hours. Remove boards if inspection cannot be carried out at these intervals.
7. Captured rodents must be dispatched quickly and humanely. Drowning IS NOT acceptable.
8. DO NOT use outdoors or in areas where there is a risk of trapping non-target species.
9. In the event of accidental trapping of a non-target animal, a food grade oil or similar emollient can be applied to aid release at the site of capture, providing the animal is unharmed and its release is not prohibited by law.
10. Glue boards should be disposed of with the adhesive surface covered and in accordance with local authority waste requirements.
