This thread seems a little confused to me... here's my two cents worth, as a food safety specialist who has worked with pest management organisations for > 10 years.
Rodent baits are things that rodents will be attracted to and eat ('to bait' = 'to attract'). Some baits contain poison (rodenticide baits), some baits do not contain poison ('non-toxic'). Baits can be in the form of pellets, sachets, blocks and liquids. The purpose of a toxic bait is to poison and kill the rodent. The purpose of a non-toxic bait is to monitor rodent activity. Non-toxic baits are typically hard blocks. They should be secured on a stick inside a rodent bait station. A rodent that is in an area with non-toxic bait will smell the bait, eat the bait where it is (they can't take it away because it is secured), and will leave teeth marks on the block. A pest management professional can see the teeth marks on the block and this indicates that rodents are in the area. So they are for monitoring rodent activity.
In Australia, it is common practice to use non-toxic baits for rodent monitoring in food handling areas. Auditors are usually okay with this. Non-toxic baits are not made from glue, they are made from foods that rodents like to eat; grains, proteins, sugars and flavours.
Glueboards are not baits and they are not used in the same way. Glueboards trap the rodent without immediately killing it. Rodent glueboards usually don't have any attractant, they are just a piece of card or plastic with really sticky surface, so they rely on the rodent running over them by accident or by having some tasty food placed nearby that will encourage the rodent to walk onto the glueboard.
Tin cats are physical traps, so they are different again. Both glueboards and tin-cats are used in food handling areas in Australia. Because they are not toxic they are also considered okay by auditors. Glueboards are banned from one state of Australia for animal welfare reasons. To my knowledge there is no such thing as a rodent pheromone glueboard.
Tips for non-toxic rodent products in food handling areas:
Baits and glueboards must be locked inside tamper-resistant bait stations. The baits must be secured on sticks or wires inside the station. The stations themselves must be secured to the wall or floor.
Stations containing glueboards and snap traps must be checked every 24 hours (for hygiene and animal welfare reasons)
Each station must be clearly labelled so that it is obvious whether it contains a toxic bait, a non-toxic bait or a glueboard or a snap trap.
A map showing all the pest management devices must be kept, and all devices must be on the map, even if they contain non-toxic baits.
Non-toxic rodent baits are a food source and can actually attract rodents into areas they might not otherwise go, so their locations must be chosen with care.
Non-toxic baits are not useful if there is lots of other food sources for rodents in the same area.
If you operate an allergen-free facility, be aware that non-toxic (and toxic) rodent baits can contain human allergens.
Hope this helps!
