FAQs

How do glue traps for rats work?

Catchmaster glue traps use a strong, non-toxic adhesive that securely holds rats once they step onto the surface.

Our traps are designed to be placed in areas where rats frequently travel, such as along walls and in corners. The sticky surface captures rats, preventing them from escaping.

Are glue traps safe around pets and children?

Yes, Catchmaster glue traps are designed with safety in mind. We use non-toxic adhesives that are safe for use around children and pets.

However, we always recommend placing traps in areas that are out of reach of curious hands and paws. If accidental contact occurs, the adhesive can be safely removed using vegetable oil.

How long do glue traps last?

Our glue traps remain effective for up to three months in suitable environments. However, the exact lifespan may vary depending on factors such as dust, humidity, and the level of rat activity.

For optimal performance, we recommend checking traps regularly and replacing them when they become full or lose their stickiness.

Can I use glue traps both indoors and outdoors?

Absolutely! Catchmaster glue traps are versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

They're designed to withstand various environments, from indoor settings like basements and attics to covered outdoor areas like garages and sheds. Just be sure to place outdoor traps in areas protected from direct rain or snow.

How soon can I expect results after setting up glue traps?

Many customers report seeing results within 24-48 hours of proper placement. However, the exact timeline may vary depending on the level of rat activity in your home and the correct positioning of traps.
