How Do Glue Traps Work?
Think of Catchmaster glue traps as your 24/7 silent guardians. Using our exclusive adhesive technology developed through 70 years of field testing, these glue traps work with a mouse’s natural behavior to provide reliable protection for your home.
Here’s why our traps are so effective:
- Smart Placement: Mice naturally run along walls and baseboards, making these areas perfect spots for placing our traps.
- Instant Action: The moment a mouse steps onto the trap, our professional-grade adhesive holds it securely.
- Complete Protection: Unlike other solutions, our traps capture both the mouse and any dangerous parasites it carries, such as ticks or fleas.
- Versatile Defense: Our glue traps work best in temperatures between 50-95° Fahrenheit. Need mouse control in cold areas like a garage or shed? Try Catchmaster’s Cold Weather Glue Trays—the only cold weather glue trap on the market that’s effective in temperatures as low as 0° Fahrenheit!
Pro Tip: High humidity can make the surface less sticky, and accumulated dust or debris will decrease the trap’s effectiveness over time. That’s why proper placement and regular maintenance of glue traps is so important for optimal performance.
