What is a common use for glue boards in pest control?

1. To catch flying insects

2. To attract and hold rodents

3. To prevent pest entry

4. To monitor pest populations

The correct answer is: To attract and hold rodents

Glue boards are primarily utilized to attract and hold rodents, making them a popular tool in pest control strategies targeted at managing rodent populations. These boards are coated with a sticky substance that captures rodents as they move across the surface. This method is effective because it can be placed in areas where rodent activity has been observed, such as along walls or near food sources. While glue boards can indeed catch some flying insects and may contribute to monitoring pest populations, their primary design and function center around rodent control. They do not prevent pest entry like physical barriers do, as they are not designed to block an entrance. Thus, the most accurate answer aligns with their most common use in pest control.
