Due to updates in the Glue Board Offences Bill, PestFix is following UK government guidance to withdraw the sale of rodent glue boards to the general public. However, glue traps remain an essential tool for trained pest control professionals dealing with difficult rodent infestations.
Glue boards are designed with extremely strong adhesive surfaces to securely trap rodents upon contact. They are most effective when placed every 2-3 metres along rat runs, across thresholds, or at access points where rodents travel. To ensure humane use and compliance with the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (UK), all glue traps must be checked every 24 hours, and any captured rodents must be dispatched humanely. Additionally, boards should be firmly secured using staples, tape, or glue to prevent trapped rodents from dragging the board to inaccessible areas.
Glue traps are particularly useful in sensitive environments where the use of poisons is restricted, such as food storage facilities, commercial kitchens, and hygiene-controlled areas. They allow pest controllers to accurately monitor rodent activity and remove infestations efficiently, without the risks associated with rodenticides.
PestFix supplies professional-use rat glue traps exclusively to trained pest controllers to ensure responsible application. If you are a professional pest controller and wish to purchase glue boards, but do not hold a trade account with us, please contact us at 01903 538488. Fast UK delivery available.
