What type of pests are glue boards primarily used for controlling?

Glue boards are primarily designed for controlling small rodents, particularly mice. These boards work by utilizing a sticky adhesive that traps the animal when it steps onto the surface. Mice, being smaller in size compared to rats, are more effectively contained within the confines of a glue board, as they have the ability to enter narrower spaces and are more likely to encounter these traps placed strategically around homes or buildings.

While glue boards can also be used for certain insects, their primary application remains focused on rodent control, especially for mice, due to their size and behavioral patterns. This targeted approach helps pest control professionals effectively manage mouse populations in residential and commercial settings.
