Stick-Em City Rat and Snake Glue Traps – Extra Large, Professional-Strength Rodent & Reptile Control – Non-Toxic, Ready-to-Use, Indoor & Outdoor Use

these large traps have worked to catch a large rat where a half a dozen other devices have not.

These are some really good traps. Once the mouse gets on it they can't get off. It's so strong my slipper got stuck on it and I had to throw it away because I couldn't get it off. I would definitely recommend these glue traps.👍🏾👍🏾

These rat glue boards will catch rats/mice, but they're not foolproof. They do have a strong peanut-buttery scent. I set one this evening, and a short while later found that I had a whole family caught in one trap (momma rat and 4 young ones).First warning: The little buggers will SCREAM and struggle when they discover they can't get free. They will scream even louder as you approach them. They will scream loud enough that you'll hear them from across the other side of the house. Be prepared to handle screaming rodents if you use this product!Second warning: Since it doesn't kill them, you're gonna have some terrified (and did I mention "screaming") rats struggling around on that board, while you try to figure out how you're going to handle disposing of them. There isn't any kind of handle to allow you to pick it up from a distance, and putting my hand on a trap with 5 terrified rats struggling to get free is NOT an option. Waiting for them to die isn't an option either, at least if they're within earshot, as it could take several days for them to die. My recommendation is to take a small cardboard box (delivery boxes from amazon come in handy!), and cut a doorway into one end (for them to enter through), and put the glue trap in that. This way you can pick up the box, with some distance between your hand and the captive rodents.Third warning: It's not foolproof. Even though momma rat was firmly on the board, she was very determined, lunging around, and as I stood there trying to figure out how to handle picking it up to dispose of them, she managed with one last thrust to get free and disappear. And of course her babies kept screaming the whole time. "Mommy, Mommy!! Don't leave us!!!!"These glue pads work, but I don't think I'll be using them again, just due to the awkward nature of having to deal with the live rodents (or whatever else you might catch) once they're caught.

I've used them for a while I have issues setting the snap traps yes they do make bigger ones. FYI tape them down because the critter will walk away with it. a little tip I'll get them often

I long resisted using glue traps as I think they're mean, but "catch and release (far away)" didn't work nor did poison traps, so I fell back to these. The benefits of this particular trap are that they're small so you can put them in crevices and we caught mice. The downside is that the mice sometimes are able to pull themselves off the glue and get away, and it's a terrible way to die if they do get caught. We could tell from hair left behind that some mice were trapped and got away, but we also caught several others that stayed put.

Put some peanut butter inside to attract mice

I have about a dozen cats, and when I found a really good price on kibble stocked up on a few of the big 35 pound bags, putting them in one of my large upstairs closets. My stash remained intact for a while, as I continued to purchase the large bags as I used them. Of course the day arrived when I had to go upstairs and retrieve a bag of cat food. I reached for it with two hands, and to my surprise, it was as light as a feather...because it was empty! For that matter...ALL the bags were!Upon inspection I discovered that there had been holes chewed into each of the bags, the kibble eaten, and the...um..."remains" were distributed copiously all over the closet: I HAD RATS IN THE HOUSE!!!(I did mention having a DOZEN CATS, right?)Obviously, something had to be done. I put some of the cats upstairs in the closet...and nothing happened; I still heard the pitter patter of little feet overhead at times, and no sound of pursuit. Even my RAT terrier - you know, the dog so named because the breed was used to clear the White House of rats by Teddy Roosevelt (Hmmm...perhaps they should get some in there now...but I digress...) - did nothing to scare them off.I was telling my BFF about the problem and she - knowing my love of animals - asked, "So, what did you name him?" I growled, "NOTHING - he's nothing but a dirty rat!" "Well," she replied helpfully, "why don't you call him Jimmy Cagney, since he was always saying 'you dirty rat!'?" (My response is not fit to type here.)Well, since my DOZEN CATS and my RAT TERRIER were obviously too well fed to bother hunting for their dinner and too lazy to do anything to earn their keep, I did an internet search to find an inexpensive solution to the problem...one that didn't involve starving my DOZEN CATS until they were desperate for food. Many people wrote that they had good results with these glue traps, so I ordered them.The traps arrived, and I took them out of the box. Hmmm...all of a sudden it hit me that there would be a dead rat on at least one of these, and I didn't want to have to handle it.... Then I had a Eureka! moment...I would put the trap inside one of those Amazon boxes that books come in (and goodness knows, I have enough of them); then all I'd have to do was fold down the flap so I couldn't see what was inside, pick up the box, and toss it in the trash. Brilliant solution!Now, it's true, I love animals...and hated the thought of killing any...but I also had no intention of spending a small fortune to feed rats. So, being the tender-hearted person that I am, I decided that Jimmy would at least have a good last meal, and crumbled an Oreo in the center of the traps, which I then put in the Amazon boxes and placed one in each of the two large closets. My DOZEN CATS looked at what I was doing with interest, and my RAT TERRIER begged for a cookie...A few days later, I went up to the closet, certain that the rat was a dead duck. Nope...no dead rat, but I did learn that the little SOB had outsmarted me: the cookie was gone! Apparently he had figured out how to balance himself on the side of the box while he enjoyed his snack.Okay, this was WAR!!!!I removed the trap from the box, figuring I could brush it into a garbage bag or something. The first order of business was to kill him...I'd worry about disposal of the corpse later! (Maybe I could put some of my DOZEN CATS in there and they'd eat him? Or perhaps the RAT TERRIER would?) This time, only a couple of peanuts were left in the center of the trap - no more being nice! With nothing to balance on, surely I'd get him, right?A day or two later I went back to the closet, and looked for the trap. Guess what? It was GONE! No dead rat, no trap....NOTHING! The trap is nowhere in the closet. As near as I can figure out, Jimmy Cagney somehow made off with the trap; for all I know, he and his friends are collecting enough glue traps to catch themselves a human.So, obviously, traps of this kind are less than reliable....then again, neither are my DOZEN CATS or my RAT TERRIER!!!!I went back to the internet, and saw that someone suggested scooping up some urine-soaked cat litter and putting it in a container of some sort near where the rats were getting into the house. The idea was, they would smell the urine of their natural predators (except for my lazy DOZEN CATS) and flee. I tried it...and thus far it seems to have worked: Jimmy has not been back. Then again, he's already eaten almost 100 pounds of cat food, it's all gone, and he might have gotten too bloody fat to be able to squeeze his way back into the house....I did order some rodent deterrent recently; I just leave the spray bottle in the closet and every so often spritz some around the closet - it's easier than replacing the urine-soaked can of litter periodically. There's nothing in there he can eat (although the little b@stard did totally consume sine scented candles that I had stored as a gift...it took me a while to figure out what those empty jars were from...), but I'm not taking any chances that he'll return.Die, Jimmy - DIE!
