Traps, catch and eliminate pests

About Traps

Traps are used to monitor or reduce the population of insects or other pests. They can be used against crawling, flying insects, mice, rats, cats, dogs, snakes, etc. Depending on the type of action of the trap, there are several classifications:

Glue Traps have a solid stand with baited or non-baited glue as an over layer. These can be in the form of a tray, made out of wood, plastic or cardboard. The glue is not toxic or hazardous to the environment or pets. Such traps are ideal for use in households, warehouses and stores and also in areas where traditional traps cannot be used. They lure the "prey" which gets then trapped in the glue. The lure is often either food based or a sexual attractant (pheromone), or even both.

Mechanical traps are ideal for catching and exterminating rodents, mice, rats and moles. They can be used repetitively, being more economically viable than the glue ones, as the only thing needed to be changed is the bait, which can be food based.

Non-back traps are multiple pitfalls for mice, rats, cats, dogs and traps also called cages. These types of traps capture the pests without hurting them. They are considered friendly mechanical traps, since the pests are not hurt. Once caught, the can be released in a remote area out of the home or protected area they have infested. To increase the efficiency of the trap, bait must be used here as well.
