What Is a Glue Trap? A glue trap is a small board made of cardboard, fiberboard, or plastic and coated with a sticky adhesive. It can ensnare any small animal who wanders across or lands on its surface. Glue Traps Are Indiscriminate Small “nontarget” animals, including birds, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and squirrels, often fall victim to these traps. Glue Traps Cause Prolonged Suffering Animals trapped in the glue panic and struggle, which causes them to become even more ensnarled. Often, the glue tears off their fur, feathers, or skin. Some break bones or even chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to escape. The screaming of ensnared wildlife is extremely upsetting to people who don’t know how to “dispose” of these sentient beings. Left alone, the terrified, injured animals die, sometimes days later, of blood loss, shock, suffocation, or thirst. Or they die from being crushed in the garbage, which is where the instructions on the traps advise consumers to put them. Glue Traps Are a Health Hazard The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns the public not to use glue traps because they increase people’s exposure to disease. Animals stuck in the glue continue to produce urine and feces, through which pathogens, including hantavirus, salmonella, and the bacteria that cause leptospirosis, are transmitted. Glue Traps Don’t Work Glue traps are not a long-term solution for controlling “unwanted houseguests.” When rodents are killed, the survivors and newcomers breed faster, which causes an increase in the population! And they fail to address the source of the problem: If holes aren’t plugged up and attractants aren’t removed, more animals will move in to take the place of those who have been killed. The Way Forward Multiple countries—including England, Iceland, Ireland, and New Zealand—as well as two states and one territory in Australia and nearly all 28 states and 8 union territories in India have banned glue traps. And hundreds of companies and other entities have prohibited their sale or use, including Target, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart Canada, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Public Storage, and more than 100 airports.

Austin Can Lead the Way for Animals: Ending the Use of Glue Traps What are glue traps? A small board made of carboard, fiberboard or plastic and coated with a sticky adhesive. The glue trap is designed to ensnare any small animal who wanders across or lands on its surface. “One of the cruelest methods of killing animals in existence today…” – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Glue Trap Fact Sheet. “Responsible for more suffering than virtually any other wildlife control product on the market…” –Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Glue Boards. Why End the Use of Glue Traps? Five reasons to stop using glue traps in Austin • They inflict immense, prolonged suffering • They are indiscriminate • They are ineffective at addressing the problem • Customers are unaware of the cruelty • The CDC says not to use them Glue traps cause immense, prolonged suffering. Animals trapped in the glue panic and struggle, causing them to become even more stuck. In their desperation to break free, the glue tears off their skin or feathers. Some animals’ faces becomes stuck, leading to suffocation lasting hours. Some break bones or chew off their limbs, desperate to escape. Animals suffer slow, painful deaths and can be thrown in the garbage while still alive. Most trapped animals die of blood loss, shock, suffocation, or dehydration, after days of suffering. They die starved and exhausted. Instructions on glue boards have suggested that the traps be thrown away while the animal is still alive. Simply check reviews on Amazon to understand how inhumane glue traps are. They cause indiscriminate suffering. According to the Wildife Center of Virginia's WILD-ONe database, which collects information from wildlife rehabilitation and animal hospitals, 179 species of wildlife have been documented in glue traps, including some protected species of birds. • Source: Schwirtz, M. (2024, March 28). In New York City, glue traps face scrutiny amid push for humane rodent control. The New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/28/nyregion/glue-trap-rodents-nyc.html They do not solve the problem. The only long-term way to control rodent populations is to make the area unattractive and inaccessible to the animals. The CDC states: “Removing food sources, water, and items that provide shelter for rodents is the best way to prevent contact with rodents.” Consumers are not prepared. People report being unsure of how to handle discovering an animal immobilized on a glue trap. The …
Administrative Report ACTION ITEM HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL Ben Harvey, City Manager Brian Popovich, Management Analyst TO: FROM: DATE REPORT PREPARED: MEETING DATE: February 27, 2024 February 16, 2024 SUBJECT: Introduction of Ordinance to Prohibit the Use and Sale of Glue Traps Within the City of Ojai Recommendation Introduce an Ordinance prohibiting the use and sale of glue traps within the City of Ojai. Discussion The issue of the use of glue traps has been raised in recent years by animal rights advocacy groups. Recently, the City Council has directed staff to draft an ordinance banning the use of glue traps. The City has a history of supporting items that promote animal welfare, including the recent passing of an ordinance adding the right to bodily liberty for elephants. Glue Traps Glue traps, also known as a sticky board or glue board, is composed of a layer of cardboard, plastic or wood that is coated with a non-drying adhesive, or a shallow tray of adhesive. The goal of the glue trap is to entrap rodents or other pests when they cross the board since their feet or other body parts get stuck in the adhesive. The animals are incapable of freeing themselves and slowly other parts of their bodies get stuck to the trap. After an extended amount of time, the captured animal typically dies from starvation, dehydration, or suffocation. The process is extremely cruel and painful, and subjects the animal to an inhumane and slow death. Glue traps are primarily used by homeowners, food processors and pest management companies to control rodent populations. Glue traps are commonly used for rodents, however, the People for Ethical Animal Treatment (“PETA”), states that these traps have been used to capture other wildlife such as birds, snakes and squirrels. According to PETA, there are reports of cats becoming stuck in glue traps and requiring veterinary assistance afterwards. Furthermore, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) warns against the use of glue traps due to potentially producing harmful human health impacts as the trapped animals produce urine and feces. 344240.1 Page 1 of 3 3-1 While the larger glue traps designed to capture vertebrate animals such as rats tend to be the most problematic due to the increased likelihood to capture larger animals or multiple animals, smaller glue traps designed to capture invertebrate animals such as ants, flies, insects and cockroaches present similar dangers. …
