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.

The present disclosure includes pest management apparatuses for trapping pests. For example, some embodiments of the pest control apparatuses comprise a sidewall surrounding an interior region, the sidewall including a bottom edge and multiple inwardly-extending tabs, each tab having a bottom surface and at least a portion of each of the tab bottom surfaces being co-planar with each other, the sidewall being releasably couplable to a floor, and a lid coupled to the sidewall. The floor may be releasably coupled to the sidewall, so as to form a base, the base having a bottommost surface, wherein the floor comprises a substrate to which an adhesive layer is permanently attached, the substrate having a bottom surface that comprises the bottommost surface. The lid and the base may cooperate to form a chamber that includes the interior region.

A modular pest scouting system includes a trapping module and a pest redirect module. The trapping module is for catching pests. The pest redirect module is detachably attached to the trapping module. The pest redirect module is for luring the pests to move toward the trapping module so as to be caught by the trapping module.

A mousetrap having a tangle of string applied to one side of a two-sided sticky material and the other side of the material applied to the bait plate. The tangle of string catches the rodent's teeth as it eats the bait and increases likelihood of a kill or capture.

Pest-management apparatuses (e.g., stations), such as, for example, that can be configured to permit a rodent to enter and retrieve a bait and/or become trapped (e.g., via adhesive or a snap-trap).

A trash can bait station device is provided designed to discreetly trap rodents or pests while maintaining the appearance and functionality of a standard garbage receptacle. The device comprises a body shaped like a typical garbage can, with features such as a lid, wheels, and handles. The body includes an opening at the bottom that houses a removable trap station, which is equipped with an entrance for rodents, a bait area, and a trap. The trap station may also have a transparent viewing window to allow users to monitor its contents without removing it from the trash can, thereby preventing detection by unauthorized individuals. The device employs different locking mechanisms to secure both the lid and the trap station, enhancing safety by restricting access to children.

A sticky area is strategically located on a snap trap which allows for a rodent to get stuck at the right distance from the bait for the rodent's wriggling to trigger the hammer bar to snap down and kill it instantly. The hammer bar has a first arm, a cross bar, a second arm and a pivot arm which define a kill zone on an attached base when the trap is in its unarmed state. A bait pedal is in the kill zone. The pivot arm is disposed in a coil spring, and a hold-down bar biases the spring and hammer bar in the armed position. A sticky area is disposed outside the kill zone and on at least three sides of the kill zone. The sticky area is on the surface of the base or on a sheet below the top surface of the base.

A system for controlling animal pests that is to be used on roads through a module forming part of a sidewalk that has at least one entry for animals to access an inner chamber of the module, this chamber being configured to contain poison, a placebo and/or traps for the animal pests to be treated.

Glueboard apparatuses, and methods of making glueboard apparatuses, with a substrate and an adhesive layer, and a contrasting region visible on or through the adhesive layer to attract rodents. The contrasting region can be a colored region that is darker than or lighter than surrounding areas of the adhesive layer, and/or can include a raised ring that extends upward from the adhesive layer away from the substrate.
