How do glue traps work?

The device functions as a mouse or rat trap by trapping the rodents in glue and preventing them from escaping. Food as a bait is used on glue boards to attract rats.
Simply set the traps in locations where rats crawl, such as where the floor meets the wall junctions or where rodent signs occur like hairs, droppings, or damage.
The rat becomes trapped and unable to move or make free itself as soon as it comes into touch with the glue pad.
