  1. Take the Board Out of the Package

Because the pack already includes a board measuring 24 cm x 25 cm when opened, you do not need to find a board or piece of cardboard to catch rats. Just take the board out of the package, then peel off the cover protecting the glue on the board. The board is now ready to use as a rat trap.

  1. Put Out the Bait

Once the board is ready, all that is left is to put food on it as bait. Try to use food rats like, such as cheese, meat, peanut butter or chocolate. You can also use food that rats were last known to have gnawed. Place the bait in the middle of the board. You can buy this glue board at a hardware store, and the price of rat glue is relatively cheap.

  1. Put the Board Where Rats Often Go

With the board and bait set up neatly, put the board in an area rats visit often. The glue trap board can also go where you think the rats nest. Try to pick a spot that is hidden and out of reach of other animals, such as pet cats or dogs.

  1. Wait for the Rat to Get Stuck

Rats are known to be suspicious of anything new in their surroundings, so trapping them can take a little longer. With a Cap Gajah product, though, the process is quicker. The glue is clear and odorless, so rats are unlikely to get suspicious. It will not take long: the rat will smell the food used as bait and end up stuck.

  1. Clean the Trap to Use It Again

Although rat glue is relatively cheap, the quality of the Cap Gajah rat trap is excellent. With its very strong adhesion, the product can be used many times. After you dispose of the rat stuck to the board, put bait back in the middle of the board and the trap is ready to use again.

That is how to use Cap Gajah rat glue sold in packaged form. Practical and economical, right? Besides the low price, you also do not need to look for a board or cardboard to hold the glue. If you have not yet found the right way to get rid of rats, there is no harm in trying this Cap Gajah glue board rat trap.
