Agenda Item No. 09 Page 6 of 6 CC Agenda 09-15-2025
DATE: September 15, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: James Vega, City Manager
Brian Popovich, City Manager’s Analyst
SUBJECT: DISCUSS PROHIBITING THE USE AND SALE OF GLUE TRAPS WITHIN
THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive this report on prohibiting the use and sale of glue traps, discuss, and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the August 18, 2025 City Council meeting, Councilmember Hernandez requested a future agenda item to discuss the use of glue traps and the dangers they pose to wildlife with the intent of update or adopting a new ordinance.
The issue of the use of glue traps has been raised in recent years by animal rights advocacy groups.
Glue Traps
Glue traps, also known as a sticky board or glue board, is composed of a layer of cardboard, plastic or wood that is coated with a non-drying adhesive, or a shallow tray of adhesive. The goal of the glue trap is to entrap rodents or other pests when they cross the board since their feet or other body parts get stuck in the adhesive. The animals are incapable of freeing themselves and slowly other parts of their bodies get stuck to the trap. After an extended amount of time, the captured animal typically dies from starvation, dehydration, or suffocation. The process is extremely cruel and painful, and subjects the animal to an inhumane and slow death. Glue traps are primarily used by homeowners, food processors and pest management companies to control rodent populations.
Glue traps are commonly used for rodents, however, the People for Ethical Animal Treatment (“PETA”), states that these traps have been used to capture other wildlife such as birds, snakes and squirrels. According to PETA, there are reports of cats becoming stuck in glue traps and requiring veterinary assistance afterwards. Furthermore, the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) warns against the use of glue traps Agenda Item No. 10 Page 1 of 3 CC Agenda 09-15-2025
Prohibition of Glue Traps
September 15, 2025
due to potentially producing harmful human health impacts as the trapped animals produce urine and feces.
While the larger glue traps designed to capture vertebrate animals such as rats tend to be the most problematic due to the increased likelihood to capture larger animals or multiple animals, smaller glue traps designed to capture invertebrate animals such as ants, flies, insects and cockroaches present similar dangers. These glue traps are smaller in size and typically contain some sort of cover, such as a tent on the top to prevent other animals from being captured in the glue. Insects or other small animals caught in these traps also sustain injuries in an attempt to free themselves or eventually succumb to their injuries in a similar inhuman fashion to the larger animals in glue traps. Therefore, all glue traps, regardless of their size or intended victim pose animal welfare and health concerns.
Alternatives to Glue Traps
There are other more humane and effective methods that currently exist in place of glue traps. For vertebrate animals, the most common alternatives include snap traps, live traps and electric traps. Both snap traps and electric traps have a higher chance of killing the rodent instantly. Live traps, which are also known as catch and release traps, capture animals by the device shutting closed and trapping the animal inside. Once the device has been triggered and the animal is inside, it can safely be released to another location.
For small wingless invertebrate animals such as spiders or cockroaches, there are similar catch and release devices that will allow the insect to be safely relocated. A viable alternative with regards to flying insects would be the use of electric traps, which entice a bug with bright lights and deliver a shock when contact is made, killing them instantly.
Other Jurisdictions and Companies have Adopted Regulations Prohibiting Glue Traps
At the time of writing this report, the only two cities which have prohibited the use and sale of glue traps are the City of West Hollywood and the City of Ojai. However, other states and well-known agencies and businesses globally have taken steps to ban either the sale and/or use of glue traps due to animal welfare and health concerns. According to PETA, the following US jurisdictions have reportedly banned the use of glue traps within their internal operations: Austin, Texas, Cartersville, Georgia; Eugene, Oregon and Washington D.C. Other countries, such as England, Iceland, Ireland and New Zealand have also reportedly banned the use of glue traps. Additionally, according to PETA, more than 100 airports nationwide have also prohibited the use of glue traps.
Options
Options for Council consideration include:
1. Direct staff to draft an ordinance prohibiting the use and sale of glue traps within the City.
2. Provide an alternate direction.
3. Take no action.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).
