HR 7018 United States House · 118th Congress

Glue Trap Prohibition Act of 2024

This bill bans the sale and use of adhesive rodent traps that cause prolonged suffering. It amends federal pesticide law to prohibit "covered glue traps" - defined as devices using non-drying adhesive to immobilize rodents, leading to death by starvation, dehydration, or suffocation. The prohibition directly affects pest control companies, food processors, and homeowners who currently use these traps. The law applies to both selling/distributing and using such traps, aligning with existing bans in other jurisdictions over animal welfare and health concerns.
