TL;DR
A glue board monitor is a flat card or low-profile trap coated with non-drying adhesive that pest technicians place along walls, under appliances, and inside cabinets to capture insects and rodents for identification and population counts. The catch tells the inspector which species are present, where activity concentrates, and whether a treatment is working between visits.
