Frequently Asked Questions
Are these traps truly safe to use in a home with toddlers?
Yes. Tomcat glue traps are pesticide-free and non-toxic, with no chemical residue, no spray, and no poison. Place them behind appliances and along baseboards out of a toddler's reach for added safety.
Can I put these in my child's playroom without worry?
Yes. The flameless, chemical-free design is safe for nurseries, playrooms, and kids' bedrooms. Deploy along wall edges or under furniture where children do not typically play.
What happens if my child touches the adhesive surface?
The adhesive is non-toxic. If skin contact occurs, apply vegetable or olive oil to gently dissolve the glue, then wash with mild soap and water. The bond releases without irritation in most cases.
Do these traps use any sprays or fumes that could affect my baby?
No. There are no propellants, no fumes, and no chemical dispersants. The eugenol scent is a mild, plant-derived attractant that does not impact indoor air quality in nurseries or bedrooms.
Is the tray surface cool to the touch if a child reaches for it?
Yes. The trap is a flat, room-temperature adhesive board with no heated elements, no flame, and no sharp edges, making the surface safe even if briefly touched by a curious child.
Will these traps protect my baby's feeding area from mice?
Yes. Place traps along the wall edges near high chairs, bottle stations, and pet feeding dishes to intercept rodents before they reach food zones, without introducing poison into those areas.
How do these compare to poison bait boxes for child safety?
Poison bait boxes contain toxicants that can be hazardous if accessed by a child. Tomcat glue traps eliminate that risk entirely, using only physical adhesive capture with no chemical agents.
Can I use these in a nursery where my baby crawls on the floor?
Place traps along baseboards and behind furniture, away from the main crawling area. The traps lie flat and stay in position without tipping, but keeping them at the wall edge maximizes both safety and catch rate.
Is there any choking hazard from the trap itself?
The 5x5 inch tray is a single solid piece with no small detachable parts. It does not break into pieces that could pose a choking risk if briefly handled.
Will the eugenol scent bother children with sensitivities?
Eugenol is used in very low concentrations as an attractant. It is generally well tolerated, but if your child has a known clove or eugenol allergy, place traps in low-occupancy rooms and monitor.
How do I childproof the placement of these traps?
Position traps behind appliances, under kitchen sinks, along baseboard edges, and inside closed garage or utility spaces. These are the highest-traffic rodent zones and the least accessible to children.
Are these traps safer than snap traps in a home with kids?
Yes. Snap traps have a spring-loaded mechanism that can pinch small fingers. Glue traps have no moving parts, no snap action, and no sharp components, making them inherently safer for family environments.
What if my child finds a trap with a caught mouse?
Glue traps are designed for no-touch disposal. Simply pick up the entire tray, place it in a sealed bag, and discard. There is no need to handle the trapped pest directly, minimizing any child contact.
Do these work in homes with infants who are just starting to crawl?
Yes. Place traps along walls in rooms the infant does not access, or behind furniture in shared spaces. The non-toxic, flameless design means no chemical or burn risk if accidentally encountered.
Can I use these near a diaper pail or changing station?
Yes. The non-toxic, odor-trapping design is appropriate near changing areas, though for hygiene you may prefer to place traps in adjacent rooms and rely on perimeter defense.
Will the trap's adhesive damage my child's toys or furniture if contact occurs?
The adhesive does not transfer to most hard surfaces. If a plastic toy or smooth furniture piece briefly contacts the trap, a light wipe with vegetable oil removes any residue without damage.
How do I set up a Tomcat glue trap?
Remove the protective liner from the adhesive surface to expose the sticky board, then place the trap flat on the floor with the long side flush against a wall or baseboard. No baiting or assembly is required, though a small dab of peanut butter can improve attraction.
Where should I place glue traps for the best results?
Place traps along walls, behind appliances, under sinks, in corners, and anywhere you see droppings or gnaw marks. Rodents travel along edges rather than across open spaces, so wall-side placement is critical for catch rate.
What is the best bait to use with these traps?
Peanut butter works better than cheese and is the most commonly recommended bait. A small pea-sized amount in the center of the trap is sufficient, though the eugenol pre-scenting means traps also work without additional bait.
Are these traps compatible with snap traps for combined use?
Yes. Many customers place Tomcat glue traps alongside baited snap traps in corners to block alternate routes, catching mice that steal bait from snap traps without triggering them.
Do these traps work for rats as well as mice?
This pack is sized for mice at 5x5 inches. Tomcat also offers a rat-and-mouse size variant in the product line for larger rodent situations, so check the size before deploying in a known rat-infestation area.
What is included in the box?
The 16-pack contains 4 packages with 4 glue traps each, for a total of 16 ready-to-use adhesive boards. No additional bait, tools, or accessories are required.
How long do these traps last once deployed?
The adhesive retains its strength for weeks under normal indoor conditions, and the pre-scented eugenol continues to attract pests throughout the deployment period. Replace traps immediately after a catch.
Can the adhesive lose stickiness during storage or shipping?
No. The professional-strength adhesive is formulated to retain full stickiness even after extended storage or transport, as long as the protective liner remains in place until use.
How do I humanely release a live mouse caught on the trap?
Apply a generous amount of vegetable or olive oil to the trapped mouse and the surrounding adhesive. The oil dissolves the glue bond, allowing you to safely relocate the mouse outside for a second chance.
What is the difference between glue traps and snap traps?
Glue traps use a sticky adhesive surface to capture pests without moving parts, while snap traps use a spring-loaded bar. Glue traps offer no-touch disposal, no setup, no blood or mess, and the ability to confirm a catch visually.
