United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (Exclusions from Market Access Principles: Glue Traps) Regulations 2025Contribution
Although this instrument concerns Scotland, it inevitably raises questions for England. Glue traps remain legal for licensed professional use in exceptional circumstances; I believe it requires special consent from Natural England. I have neglected to put down a Question yet on how many times that consent has been granted and in what circumstances, but I will put one down tomorrow. However, if you do a Google search for “buy mouse glue traps”, there are hundreds of sites on the internet selling them, and in my opinion, they are being sold to people illegally. I hope we can crack down on that sale in the future.
