Mr. LIEU (for himself and Mr. SCHIFF) introduced the following bill; which

To prohibit the sale and use of glue traps for the trapping

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Glue Trap Prohibition 
Act of 2024’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) A glue trap, also known as a glue board or 
sticky board, is comprised of a layer of cardboard, 
plastic, or wood coated with a non-drying adhesive

or a shallow tray of the adhesive. These traps, used 
by homeowners, food processors, and pest manage-
ment companies to control rodent populations, work 
by ensnaring rodents or other small animals as they 
cross the device by having their feet and bodies stick 
to the adhesive. Unable to free themselves, especially 
as more parts of their bodies become stuck to the 
trap, the victims typically die from starvation, dehy-
dration, or suffocation after several days. The proc-
ess is extremely cruel and painful, and it subjects 
animals, whether the intended target or not, to a 
slow and inhumane death. 
(2) Glue traps may also trap or maim non-tar-
get wildlife, including protected species, and house-
hold pets who may subsequently require veterinary 
assistance and examination. 
(3) The United States Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention has cautioned against the use of 
glue traps, as trapped animals produce urine and 
feces that may harmfully affect human health. 
(4) Countries, cities, agencies, and businesses 
around the world have increasingly taken steps to 
limit or ban the sale or use of glue traps over animal 
welfare, health, and humane concerns.
