The "Attack Mouse And Rat Trap Book" is a common type of pest control product, specifically a glue trap or sticky trap. The name "book" refers to its foldable design, which makes it look like a book when closed.
Product Overview
Type: This is a glue trap, consisting of a piece of cardboard or plastic coated with a powerful, non-toxic adhesive. The product is often scented with an attractant like peanut butter to lure rodents.
Design: It is designed to be folded into different shapes, such as a square, a long "tunnel," or a "U" shape. The "book" design allows it to be easily placed in tight, narrow spaces where mice and rats are known to travel, such as along walls, under appliances, or behind furniture.
Hold: The glue is formulated to be extremely sticky and strong, ensuring that once a rodent, insect, or other small pest touches the surface, it becomes securely trapped and cannot escape.
Versatility: While marketed for mice and rats, these traps are often effective for a variety of other household pests, including lizards, spiders, cockroaches, and even small snakes.
Non-Toxic: A key selling point for these traps is that the glue is a non-toxic formula. This makes them a safer alternative to poison baits, especially for use in homes with children or pets.
Ease of Use: The trap is very simple to use. You simply unfold it, place it in an area with rodent activity, and wait. There is no need for setting a trigger or using a snap mechanism.
Disposal: The entire trap, with the captured pest, can be disposed of without direct contact with the rodent.
