The use of glue traps and monitors are great to catch and identify the species, to locate them, to determine the level of infestation or to decrease their population.  To attract certain species, some traps have an odour or a pheromone, a sexual attractant.  It is important to set the traps in the good sites.  Those places include where the moisture is high, food source, cracks and crevices, underneath the furniture, access to the structure like the plumbing or heaters.

95% of urban rat problems are caused by dysfunction of the sewer system. It is important to insure the sewer system has no anomalies to really fix the problem. A smoke test or camera test is sometime necessary.
