I was told to put out glue boards for pest management, what are they?

A glue board is a cardboard sheet or boxlike apparatus having one or more surfaces coated with a sticky paste for capturing pests.

The use of glueboards in an IPM program allows the user to continually monitor an area for pest presence or activity. Glue boards or sticky traps come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Because pests usually move along walls and surfaces, glue boards should be placed next to a wall surface to be most effective, not in the middle of the room.
