Glue from mice

Rodents to which belong different types of mice and rats, give a lot of trouble to people living in private houses or high-rise buildings. They spoil household items, foods, as well as rats and mice are carriers of dangerous diseasessuch as plague, leptospirosis, rabies and other infections. For successful pest control, there are many methods. One of these inventions is special glue for mice.

Composition and principle of action

In the fight against rodents, the tool has proven effective, despite the fact that this method of extermination of rats and mice is not entirely humane. A sticky trap will cause a long and painful death of the pest. However, despite such an unpleasant fact, many use for rodent control this particular method. This is because the composition used to destroy pests is absolutely safe for the health of others.

Special glue for catching mice is non-toxic and does not have a pronounced smell, which allows you to use it in any living room. The composition of the drug includes such active components:

• polyisobutylene or polybutylene;
• cycloisane.

In case of accidental ingestion of a small amount into the human body, glue from mice does not cause negative consequences, but for prevention purposes it is recommended to rinse the stomach and contact a medical institution. Therefore, you should work with the drug carefully and comply with the manufacturer's requirements set forth in the instructions. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

Important!

Adhesive bases do not contain toxic components. Special flavors that act as mouse bait.

Glue for mice is a sticky mass that does not dry for a long time. Due to this, a small amount of the drug can be used over a large area for a sufficiently long time. The sticky agent acts on the principle of immobilization of mice and other rodents by gluing them to the surface on which the agent is applied. Pests, not finding food, perish from hunger and thirst.

Depending on the type of product, two modifications are distinguished:

• Ready-made glue trap for mice - a horizontal surface on which a product has been applied to catch pests. To bring the device into working condition, it is necessary to remove the protective film from it and set a mousetrap in the right place. The odorous additives that replace the bait allow you to attract the animal and quickly catch it.
• Glue for mice. It can be applied to any washable surface (ceramic tile, glass, plastic and other varieties). Before using the composition, it is necessary to make a test in a small area to check how glue will be washed off with selected materials. In order not to spoil the home decoration, the product is coated with cardboard strips or pieces of plywood, which must be discarded after use.

On a note!

While creating homemade traps it is necessary to use glue carefully, strictly following the instructions, and place ready-made traps in places inaccessible to children and pets, since washing them from the drug is very problematic.

1. Choose a piece of flat smooth material measuring 10x10 cm or 25x20 cm, respectively, for mice and rats.
2. The glue is smeared on the substrate with strips whose width is 1-2 cm, and the gap between them should be at least 5 cm. This marking is suitable for mice. To catch rats, the stripes are made wider - 3-5 cm and they are located at a distance of 10 cm from each other. The substance acquires its properties 30 minutes after application to the surface. It is necessary to coat the selected material abundantly so that the mass falls on the limbs of the animal.
3. Place the prepared bait in the center of the trap.
4. Masking tape for mice is located in places where the likelihood of rodents is greatest. For maximum effect, it is advisable to install several devices at a distance of 3 to 15 meters from each other.

Traps should be periodically checked to collect and dispose of rodents, as well as to replace contaminated devices with new ones. If glue gets on people and animals, it can be removed using all kinds of chemical solvents.

The acceptable price of glue, safety for others and high efficiency in the fight against rodents make this drug widely used. However, today there are many alternative, more human trapsthat allow you to get rid of rodents.
