About Web-Cote Industries
Who is Web-Cote Industries?
Web-Cote Industries is a U.S. manufacturer of glue traps for the pest control industry, specializing in OEM and private label production. In business since 1986, we focus exclusively on adhesive-based pest control products—developing and producing high-performance glue traps for rodents, insects, and agricultural use.
What makes Web-Cote different from other glue trap manufacturers?
Glue is all we do. Unlike competitors that divide their focus across sprays, baits, or mechanical devices, Web-Cote is entirely dedicated to adhesive technology. We formulate, coat, print, and die-cut every product in-house for total quality assurance and consistent performance.
Are all of your products made in the USA?
Yes. Every Web-Cote glue trap is made in our Hamburg, New Jersey facility using domestically sourced materials.
Are you a certified women-owned business?
Yes! We are proud to be able to help customers meet their diversity supplier needs. Web-Cote Industries is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), and also holds federal SBA WOSB, New Jersey SBE & WBE certifications as well.
Products & Private Label
What types of glue traps do you manufacture?
We manufacture glue traps for rodents, insects, snakes, and agricultural applications—along with flylight replacement boards, tree-banding rolls, and monitoring cards.
Can you produce custom-branded traps for my company?
Yes. Through our private label program, we can custom-print your logo, brand colors, and messaging directly on your glue traps, packaging, and case labels.
What’s the difference between OEM, private label, and contract manufacturing?
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): We manufacture traps for another company to sell under their own brand.
- Private Label: We produce traps specifically customized with your branding and packaging.
- Contract Manufacturing: We build to your specifications—formulation, substrate, and design—and can also handle testing or packaging needs.
Can you add pheromones, scents, or other attractants?
Yes. We can incorporate fragrances and some pheromone lures into the glue itself or supply separate attractants depending on product needs and pest behavior.
What substrates and materials do you offer?
Our most common substrates include, milk carton stock, SBS board, and PVC—each suited for different environments and trap types.
Do you offer assistance with trap design or packaging?
Yes. We provide guidance on glue selection, substrate, layout, and packaging. Our in-house design team can assist with print setup and minor artwork adjustments to ensure your brand is represented accurately.

Sustainability & Compliance
Are your materials recyclable or environmentally friendly?
We prioritize recyclable and domestically sourced materials
SBS C1/C2S Paperboard
Meets definition of “compostable” or biodegradable per ASTM Standard 5338 Average of 70% biodegradation in 88 days
Milk Carton Poly Coated Paperboard
The material is only biodegradable if you take the poly off the board. However, we source this material only from suppliers who are SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody certified.
PVC
The manufacturer reports that this material complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/862) and does not contain any of the Restricted Hazardous Substances (RoHS3); does not contain any halon compounds listed in class I & II Ozone Depleting Substances of the United States Environmental Protection Agency; do not contain BPA Bisphenol A or BPS Bisphenol S; do not contain any PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), its salts, or related substances, PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate), its salts, or related substances, or PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) or related substance; and do not contain lead or any phthalates as noted in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Material is not biodegradable or compostable.
Inks (water based)
Printing ink is generally not biodegradable, however, the dried ink on a substrate represents a minute weight fraction and therefore the effects from the ink are generally felt to be negligible to the overall compostability of the paper.
Glues
Have not been tested for compostability, however, it is not believed to be compostable. Has not been tested for biodegradability, but the two major raw materials are unlikely to biodegrade at a significant rate.
Siliconized Release Liner
Not biodegradable
