Prohibits the use of adhesive-based rodent traps
This bill prohibits the sale, distribution, and use of adhesive-based rodent traps (commonly called glue traps or glue boards) in New York State. It bans manufacturers, distributors, and retailers from selling these traps and forbids anyone from using them to capture rodents, including pest control professionals. The law takes effect immediately for new shipments and sales, but retailers and exterminators may sell or use existing stock for one year after the effective date. This directly affects businesses selling pest control products and residents who use these traps for rodent control.
