Glue traps are powerful, professional tools—and like any effective tool, they must be used responsibly.
Proper placement, regular inspection, and humane disposal aren’t just best practices; they’re essential to protecting public health, maintaining trust, and ensuring glue traps remain a viable part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
At Web-Cote Industries, we believe responsible use supports better outcomes for professionals, facilities, and communities alike. This page provides general guidance to help promote safe, compliant glue trap use in real-world environments.
