Abstract

A tray has sidewalls which extend upwardly from a base sheet. Rodent entrapping adhesive is disposed between the sidewalls on the base sheet. An aggressive mechanical surface, for example in the form of a plurality of closely spaced protruding ridges, are formed to extend upwardly from the base sheet. The adhesive is retained mechanically on the aggressive mechanical surface. A region of the base sheet in the middle of the tray between two regions of aggressive mechanical surface may be left free of ridges to define a reservoir of glue to aid in the rodent entrapping performance of the tray and adhesive assembly.
