Glue boards, also known as sticky traps or fly catchers, are devices used to capture and kill flying insects, particularly flies, by attracting them to a sticky surface. They typically consist of a board or card coated with a strong adhesive, often yellow or white with a grid pattern, and may be used indoors or outdoors.
How they work:
Attraction:
The glue boards are designed to attract insects, often through the use of a specific color (like yellow) or by incorporating UV light.
Adhesive:
The sticky surface traps the insects that land on it, preventing them from escaping.
Disposal:
Once the glue board is covered with insects, it's usually discarded and replaced.
