Product Information
Variously described as rat glue traps, rat glue boards and sticky rat traps, this product is the fastest way to get rid of rats in your home or business. Unlike other methods of rodent control, which rely on rats taking bait, glue boards simply trap rats as they run over them and become stuck to the extra-strong adhesive.

Rat Glue Boards are ideal for use in situations where rats have an alternative food source and so poison is not taken or where the use of baiting is unsuitable; for example, restaurants, bakeries, shops and food processing plants. As well as being widely used in professional and commercial contexts, rat sticky boards are now also becoming more popular for domestic use, again in areas where perhaps rat poisons cannot be tolerated, or in flats or terraced houses where rodents are often travelling through.

Their virtually non-drying adhesive means that these Glue Traps can remain effective for months in normal conditions, and their special folding design means they can be stored during the day and then re-laid overnight. (Approx shelf-life of 12 months).

Directions for use
Rats do not have very good eyesight, so tend to feel their way around the edges of an area. For best results glue boards should be placed around the edges of a room or against walls etc. In addition, they can also be placed anywhere that rat droppings or other activity has been noticed.
 
Recommendations
When using glue traps as a method of rodent control, to comply with the Animal Welfare Act 2006 you must check them at least twice every 24 hours and ensure they are inaccessible to non-target species. Upon discovery of a caught mouse or rat, please be sure to dispatch captured rodents as quickly and humanely as possible.
