Rat Glue Traps: 4 Advantages Over Other Ways to Catch Rats
A rat glue trap is safe to handle, easy to set, cheap at about Rp 15,000 and free of chemical smell. Here are the 4 advantages over other rat traps.
There are plenty of ways to catch the rats roaming around your home. Snap traps, rat poison, natural ingredients, and other methods often turn out not to work well enough. This time you can try rat glue, which is considered long-lasting in use. Here are the advantages of this special rat glue.
Advantages of Using Glue to Get Rid of Rats
1. Ingredients That Are Safe to Use
Unlike rat poison, which contains chemicals, rat glue contains almost nothing hazardous. It is made from a rubber-based material that is safe and contains no chemicals at all. The glue does just one job: it snares any rat that walks across a piece of cardboard coated with it.
2. Effective at Catching Rats
Catching rats with glue works in an unusual way. The material makes a rat that walks across it unable to move or change position, so the rat stays alive but cannot move. Setting this trap is quite easy.
First, prepare a thick piece of cardboard or a carton and spread the rat glue on it. Don't forget to put the rat's favorite food on top of the glued cardboard, so the rat is drawn toward the food. When the rat reaches the food, it gets stuck on the cardboard, which is covered in glue, and cannot go anywhere.
3. Cheap to Buy
Getting rid of rats with glue really is effective. The economical packaging is another advantage. With a pack of up to 115 grams, you can buy it at a fairly low price. This glue sells for only about fifteen thousand rupiah (Rp 15,000) on several of your favorite e-commerce sites.
4. No Unpleasant Smell
Another advantage of using glue to get rid of rats is that it gives off no bad smell. Rat poison usually releases a sharp chemical odor that hits the nose. With rat glue, your home stays free of that smell. You do need to dispose of the trapped rat right away, though, so the smell of a dead rat does not spread through the rooms.
Now that you know the advantages of catching rats with glue, you can use it as an effective way to get rid of them. It is best to combine several methods, because rats have a sharp sense of smell. Catching one rat does not guarantee the same trick will catch another.
