Catchmaster Rat & Mouse Glue Traps, 10 Pack Large Waterproof Boards

Catchmaster Rat & Mouse Glue Traps are large, heavy-duty adhesive boards in a 10-pack for trapping rats, mice, insects, and snakes without added bait.

• Ready to use without additional rat bait — set the boards promptly after pulling them apart.
• Odorless adhesive traps designed for insects and rodents — use them in residential, commercial, or industrial spaces.
• Waterproof design for wet, damp, or humid conditions — place traps where those conditions are present.
• Adhesive designed to resist hardening — in normal conditions, a trap can last up to one full year.
• Made in the USA — a practical option for indoor pest management and suitable enclosed outdoor areas.
• For places where rodenticides or snap traps are undesirable or prohibited — use the boards as part of a pest-management approach.

These disposable glue boards are made for situations where you want to manage unwanted pests without using bait, rodenticides, or snap traps. Their ready-to-use format suits homes as well as commercial and industrial buildings, and the waterproof design supports use in damp settings. For outdoor use, put a trap in an enclosed area protected from direct natural elements.

Do Catchmaster glue traps need bait, and how do I set them?

No additional rat bait is needed. Pull each board apart to expose its adhesive surface, then set it in place right away because the opened trap is active. The boards are odorless and disposable, making them straightforward to position as part of a pest-control routine.

• Use the trap as supplied; no extra bait is required.
• Set a board promptly once it has been pulled apart.
• The adhesive is intended to trap insects and rodents.

Where can I use these traps, and what conditions do they suit?

Use the boards in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, including locations where rodenticides or snap traps are undesirable or prohibited. The waterproof design makes them suitable for wet, damp, or humid conditions, while the adhesive formula is designed to resist hardening that can reduce effectiveness. Under normal conditions, a trap can remain usable for up to one full year. Outdoor placement is suitable only in an enclosed area away from direct natural elements.

• Choose an enclosed location for any outdoor use.
• Keep traps out of direct natural elements outdoors.
• These are disposable boards, rather than reusable traps.

How should I place and check the boards?

For rats and mice, set traps along pathways every 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m), avoiding corners. Check them daily or whenever you hear noise. For insects, begin in corners and continue placing boards every 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m). Regular checks help you monitor the areas where you have set traps.

• Rodent placement: along pathways, with corners avoided.
• Insect placement: in corners, then at 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) intervals.
• Check daily or when you hear noise.

What if a person or pet touches the adhesive?

If a person or pet comes into contact with a glue board, vegetable oil or food-grade mineral oil can be used to remove the adhesive. Catchmaster’s Intelligent Pest Management approach uses a science-based integrated pest management framework, and the traps are made in the USA.

• Vegetable oil is one stated option for removing glue.
• Food-grade mineral oil is another stated option.
• Catchmaster calls its science-based approach Intelligent Pest Management.

These traps suit households and facility managers who want ready-to-use adhesive boards for managing rodents and insects, including in damp indoor areas or protected enclosures outdoors. They are designed for enclosed outdoor placement, not exposure to direct natural elements, and their placement and daily checks can be tailored to the pest and pathway. Catchmaster provides a 10-pack of large, heavy-duty glue traps for this use.
