A pest control barrier is provided. The pest control barrier comprises a continuous barrier track disposed about an entirety of a predefined perimeter. The predefined perimeter may define an interior space and be disposed along an entirety of an outer boundary of the interior space. The continuous barrier track may comprise a topical catch layer. The topical catch layer contains a quantity of pressure sensitive adhesive material dispersed throughout the topical catch layer sufficient to restrain a pest from free movement away from the topical catch layer, such that the continuous barrier track forms a continuous catch loop about the predefined perimeter that bars entry into or exit from the interior space by a pest such as, but not limited to, rodents, snakes, insects, arachnids, pedes, scorpions, and/or other pests. In this way, an object disposed within the interior space defined by the predefined perimeter may also remain pest free.

Method and apparatus for a pest control device mounting system configured for mounting pest control devices in a building and using them to control pests. The pest control device mounting system including a mounting bracket, which may have a circumferential portion defining a portal. In some examples, the mounting bracket includes a flange portion suitable for attaching to the perimeter of a cavity in a building surface. The pest control device mounting system including a plug configured to be removably attached to the mounting bracket and to substantially close the portal when attached to the mounting bracket, wherein the plug is configured to accommodate a pest control device.

A rodent trap incorporating a pre-loaded bait of non-artificial fresh food in a pre-sealed container that is covered by a peelable sheeted material such that when setting the trap, an operator will peel off the sheeted material to expose the fresh food bait and then set the trap. The pre-loaded bait container finds utility in bail-type traps as well as adhesive glue traps.

Means and methods for preventing crawling insects from infesting a site where food, water, or garbage is located. In particular, this relates to creating a non-poisonous barrier in the path of the insects by coating a surface with a layer of high viscosity index petroleum based gel (HVIP-gel). One embodiment is an insect deterrent cup that is comprised of an inverted (upside down) cup whose inner surface is coated with a layer of PetrolGel. The insect deterrent cup is positioned between the food site and the crawling insects, blocking their path. This prevents crawling insects from accessing the food, water, or garbage.

An adhesive trap for entrapping pests such as insects such as flying or crawling insects, or other small creatures includes a corrugated panel defining a plurality of channels connected by convex peaks. For example, the corrugated panel, or a plurality of corrugated panels, may be configured and/or assembled to define a pillar or the like. An insect adhesive, such as pressure-sensitive adhesive, is adhered only in the plurality of channels, such that the convex peaks of the corrugated panel are free of adhesive. The adhesive trap is effective at capturing target insects, and the adhesive-free outer portions facilitate handling of the traps without contacting the adhesive and reduces the risk and likelihood of inadvertently ensnaring or adhesively engaging larger, non-target creatures.

A removeable, adhesive wrapper used to augment any existing rodent trap by affixation to the top, side and bottom faces of the rodent trap's operating platform. It is folded about the operating platform and connected to itself, leaving an adhesive layer facing up in the region of the bait station. When the rodent steps on it and stops to take the bait, they are no longer capable of quickly moving when they activate the trap's trigger and the kill bar of the rodent trap is released. Even if the rodent does not reach the bait station, their jiggling efforts to extricate their feet and/or lower body from the adhesive wrapper will activate the trigger. Once dead, the adhesive wrapper may be unfolded and wrapped around the dead rodent for disposal.

A device for trapping a rodent includes one or more of a floor, walls connected to the floor, an aperture in at least one of the walls, and a platform positioned within the container. The platform is positioned adjacent to the aperture and elevated above the floor. An adhesive is positioned on the floor. The aperture is sized to permit a rodent to gain access to the platform.

A rodent trap for catching rodents having a housing and a top cover with a plurality of inside walls and at least one inside wall has a lateral tab protruding inward. The rodent trap also has a bottom base with a plurality of inside walls and at least one inside wall there is an opening that aligns with the at least one inside wall of the top cover that comprises the lateral tab. Further, the bottom base has a tunnel adjacent a poison cavity, and the tunnel has an opening configured for allowing the rodents to travel from the tunnel to the poison cavity. Also, the poison cavity has at least one structure for retaining poison for the rodent to eat the poison and die either in the housing or outside the housing.
