A 10189 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the use of adhesive-based rodent traps in state-owned or state-leased buildings

This bill bans adhesive-based rodent traps (like glue traps and glue boards) in all state-owned or state-leased buildings. It directly affects state agencies, offices, and facilities that previously used these traps for pest control. The prohibition takes effect one year after the law is enacted, requiring state buildings to switch to alternative rodent control methods. The law defines "adhesive-based traps" broadly to cover common devices designed to capture rodents using sticky substances.
