Claim:
A pest control device comprising: (a) a replaceable glueboard of a defined thickness having at least one edge extending between back and front surfaces, the front surface having a peripheral section adjacent the at least one edge and a central section, and an adhesive coating covering the central section; (b) a housing having a space in which the replaceable glueboard is received and retained, the space defined by at least one channel, the at least one channel having an opening into which the at least one edge of the glueboard is inserted and a lip for retaining the at least one edge of the glueboard within the at least one channel, the lip of the at least one channel and the peripheral section of the glueboard dimensioned so the adhesive coating of the glueboard does not come into contact with the lip as the glueboard is inserted into, retained within or removed from the space of the housing; and (c) a guide having an edge which engages the front surface of the glueboard as the glueboard is inserted into and removed from the space to prevent the adhesive coating covering the central section of the glueboard from coming into contact with other surfaces of the pest control device, the edge of the guide being sufficiently narrow to prevent the guide from sticking to the adhesive coating, wherein the guide comprises an axle having at least one wheel mounted thereon and the edge of the guide is an outer edge surface of the at least one wheel.
