What is one key aspect of glue boards in pest control?

One key aspect of glue boards in pest control is that they make pests visible for control strategies. Glue boards are designed to capture insects and rodents upon contact, allowing pest control professionals and property owners to visually assess the type and quantity of pests present in an environment. This visibility is crucial for determining the extent of an infestation and for developing appropriate control strategies. By being able to see what types of pests are being caught, it aids in identifying problem areas and contributing factors that may need to be addressed.

While glue boards may indirectly affect pest populations or help in controlling them, their primary purpose is to provide a clear indicator of pest activity, rather than reducing the population directly or serving as food for pests. They also do not block entry points for pests, which is a different method of pest control altogether.
