Ways to property use the glue traps.
Understand where precisely the rat roams. Place the trap along the rat’s travel paths. Placing your glue traps in some new place, even with bait, will never help you catch any rodents. Remember that rats are super-intelligent beings, and they never go to places that are new to them. Look for signs of rodents such as rat droppings, scratches etc. Those signs will help you find the places with high rat activity.
Another point to remember is to cover or tent your glue traps. If the glue trap gets covered by dust, it loses its adhesive properties. These simple steps can enhance your chances of catching rodents.
