How should you use mouse glue properly? - briefly

Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the mouse pad, let it dry until tacky, then press the mouse onto the surface and hold briefly to secure full contact. Remove any excess glue with a damp cloth before the adhesive fully cures.

How should you use mouse glue properly? - in detail

Mouse adhesive is a viscous, non‑toxic polymer designed to immobilize rodents by coating a surface they traverse. Correct handling maximizes capture efficiency while minimizing health risks.

Preparation begins with selecting a well‑ventilated area. Clean the intended placement zone to remove dust, grease, or debris that could interfere with adhesion. Dry the surface completely; moisture reduces effectiveness.

Application proceeds as follows:

  1. Wear disposable gloves to prevent skin contact.
  2. Dispense a thin, continuous layer of «mouse glue» onto the trap surface using the supplied applicator or a disposable spatula.
  3. Spread the adhesive evenly, avoiding clumps that create gaps.
  4. Position the trap against the wall or along a known rodent pathway, ensuring the coated side faces outward.
  5. Secure the trap with tape or a bracket if needed to maintain contact with the floor or wall.

Safety considerations include keeping the product out of reach of children and pets, storing it in a sealed container at room temperature, and disposing of used traps in a sealed bag before discarding them with regular waste.

Regular inspection—at least once daily—allows prompt removal of captured rodents, replacement of the adhesive layer, and assessment of trap placement. Prompt disposal reduces odor buildup and prevents secondary infestations.
