Which pest control device is most suitable for controlling mice?

  1. Sticky boards

  2. Electrocutor traps

  3. Protective netting

  4. Glue boards

The correct answer is: Glue boards

The most suitable pest control device for controlling mice among the options provided is glue boards. Glue boards are specifically designed to capture rodents by using an adhesive that sticks to the mouse when it steps onto the board. They are particularly effective for catching mice as they can be placed in areas where mice are likely to travel, such as along walls or near food sources. While sticky boards and glue boards serve similar purposes, the term "glue board" is more commonly used in pest control terminology to refer to a specific type of device that is focused on rodent capture. Electrocutor traps are more suitable for larger rodents or when a quick kill is desired, but they may not be as effective in all situations involving mice. Protective netting is not effective for capturing mice and is generally used for preventing entry or access by larger animals. Choosing glue boards is not only practical but also a method that allows for monitoring mouse activity over time, making it easier to assess the level of infestation and take further actions if necessary.
