Collection: Discover Catchmaster's Best Glue Traps for Rats

Yes, Catchmaster glue traps are designed with safety in mind, utilizing a non-toxic adhesive that poses no chemical threat to pets and children.

To ensure safety, place traps in areas that are less accessible to curious pets and young children, such as behind furniture or in corners. Regular monitoring and maintenance of trap placement are recommended to maximize effectiveness and safety.

Catchmaster glue traps are effective against various rat species, including Norway rats, roof rats, and other common rodents.

Our traps are designed to exploit the natural movement patterns of these pests, capturing them as they travel along walls or in search of food. This versatility makes Catchmaster glue traps an essential component of any integrated pest management strategy.

For the best results, place Catchmaster Glue Traps in areas where you have noticed signs of rat activity or where rats are likely to travel. Common locations include along walls, behind appliances, in corners, near food sources, and along baseboards. Rats tend to follow the same paths repeatedly, so positioning traps along these routes increases the likelihood of capture. It's also effective to place traps near potential entry points, such as gaps under doors or around utility lines. Ensure the traps are placed flush against walls, as rats prefer to stay close to the edges of rooms. Regularly check the traps and reposition them as needed to maintain effectiveness.

We suggest checking Catchmaster glue traps regularly, at least once a week, to make sure they’re still in working condition. If you find any traps that have captured rats or accumulated dust and debris, these should be replaced with new traps.

Catchmaster Glue Traps offer several advantages over other pest control methods when it comes to dealing with rats. Firstly, they provide a non-toxic and chemical-free solution, making them safe for use in homes with children and pets. Unlike poisons or snap traps, glue traps allow for a quick and visible capture, so you can easily monitor the situation and dispose of the rats.

Catchmaster Glue Traps are easy to use and can be placed in various locations, including hard-to-reach areas where rats are likely to travel. Their strong adhesive ensures effective capture, reducing the risk of rats escaping or moving the trap. For a humane and efficient approach to rodent control, Catchmaster Glue Traps are a reliable choice.

To dispose of used Catchmaster glue traps, we suggest customers place their traps in a sealed plastic bag. This prevents any odors forming. Place the bag in an outdoor trash bin to then ensure that pests are securely contained and reduce the risk of attracting other pests to your home.

Handle used traps with care, using gloves if necessary, to avoid direct contact with captured pests or the adhesive.

While we recommend placing traps strategically to avoid this happening, we know pets are inquisitive and sometimes manage to find our glue traps. If your pet becomes stuck on one of our glue traps, rub a gentle oil, such as olive oil or vegetable oil on the attached area to carefully loosen the adhesive. Gently work the oil into the area where the pet is stuck, and slowly peel the trap away from the fur or skin.

After removing the trap, wash the affected area on your pet with soap and water to remove any remaining residue.

Catchmaster glue traps are intended for single use and should be replaced once they have captured rats or become dirty. Reusing traps can compromise their effectiveness, as the adhesive may lose its strength over time.

By using fresh traps, you ensure that your pest control efforts remain effective and that you can quickly respond to any new rat activity.

Catchmaster Rat Glue Traps do not have a specific expiration date. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to store the traps in a cool, dry place and use them within a few years of purchase. Over time, extreme temperatures, humidity, and exposure to dust may reduce the adhesive's effectiveness. To ensure the traps are in the best condition, it’s advisable to inspect them for dust or debris before use. Proper storage and handling will help maintain the traps’ effectiveness for catching rats.

Start by identifying potential entry points, such as cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, and utility lines. Seal these entry points to block access. Then, use Catchmaster Rat Glue Traps and bait stations as a first line of defence. Place the traps along walls, near entry points, and in areas where you've noticed rodent activity. Additionally, maintain a clean environment by eliminating food sources and clutter, which can attract rats. Using Catchmaster products in conjunction with these preventative measures will help create an effective barrier against rat infestations.

Signs of a rat infestation in your home can include several telltale indicators. Common signs are droppings, which are small, dark, and pellet-shaped, often found in kitchen cabinets, pantries, or near food sources. You might also notice gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or electrical wires, as rats need to chew continuously to keep their teeth sharp. Scratching or scurrying sounds, particularly at night, coming from walls, ceilings, or under floorboards, can also suggest the presence of rats. Other signs include nests made from shredded paper or fabric, greasy rub marks along walls, and a distinctive musky odour. If you observe any of these signs, it’s important to take action quickly to prevent the infestation from worsening.

Catchmaster glue traps can be utilized in sheltered outdoor areas. We suggest keeping the traps away from harsh weather conditions, such as rain or direct sunlight, which can compromise the adhesive's effectiveness. When using glue traps for rats outdoors, place traps in covered or shielded areas, such as under eaves or in garages, to extend the reach of your rodent control efforts.

Catchmaster glue traps provide a non-toxic alternative to traditional rat traps, offering a safer option for homes with children and pets. Unlike snap traps, which require precise placement and can cause injury, glue traps provide a more humane and less intrusive method of pest control.

Their ease of use and effectiveness make them an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable solution to rat infestations.

If you suspect a rat infestation in your walls, it's important to take immediate action. Use Catchmaster glue traps in areas where you notice signs of activity, such as droppings or gnaw marks. Seal any potential entry points and consider consulting a pest control professional for further assistance.

Regular monitoring and maintenance of your pest control measures will help prevent further infestations.

Yes, Catchmaster glue traps can be used alongside other pest control products to enhance their effectiveness. Combining glue traps with exclusion techniques, such as sealing entry points and removing food sources, can provide a comprehensive approach to pest management.
