Defra announces key principles and dates for glue board licensing in England


Pest controllers will be able to apply for glue trap licences from 13 June 2024.

The glue trap ban  will come into force on 31 July 2024.


Licences will only be issued for exceptional circumstances, and where all alternative methods of rodent control are ineffective or impractical.


There are 2 types of licence: 

  1. Class licence – you register in advance to use this licence.

  2. Individual licences – you apply for a single-use licence at the time of need, to deal with a particular problem, at a particular site.

Individual licences will only be issued in exceptional circumstances where there is a high risk to public health & safety and where all alternative methods of rodent control are ineffective.

NB – restaurants, take-aways, dwelling houses are not considered as exceptional circumstances.


There is a cost associated with both types of licence:

Class Licence: New User Registration

£180

Class Licence: Report of Action (at each site the licence is used)

£230

Class Licence: Registered User Annual Re-registration

£121

Individual Licence

Additional charges (based on an hourly rate of £121) will be payable if further information from an applicant is needed to assess the licence application

£ 535
