Bell Laboratories Protecta EVO Express Station
The Protecta EVO Express Station is positioned here as the best-in-class passive monitoring station because of its tamper‑resistant, modular polymer design and proven compatibility with professional traps and electronic sensors, which reduces service visits and liability in sensitive sites. Although it carries a higher upfront cost than disposable glue boards, its durable construction and sensor integration deliver lower total cost of ownership and greater safety compared with open glue traps like Catchmaster and Trapper Max or simpler mechanical devices like the Victor Tin Cat.

Catchmaster 72MAX Pest Trap
The Catchmaster 72MAX is a market-favorite disposable glue board that earns its place for very low unit cost and broad applicability to both crawling insects and small rodents in passive monitoring programs. It provides an economical, high‑surface option for intensive monitoring regimes, but unlike enclosed stations (Protecta EVO, Aegis RP) it lacks tamper resistance and containment, and is therefore better suited for low‑risk or non-food areas compared with the stronger‑adhesive Trapper Max boards.

Trapper Max Glue Trap
Trapper Max glue traps are recognized for exceptionally high tack and a larger footprint, making them a market leader for single‑use passive monitoring where catch retention is critical. Their technical advantage is adhesive performance and durability at a very low purchase price, but they share the same containment and hygiene limitations as other glue boards and are less appropriate than enclosed bait stations or sensor‑ready stations for sites requiring tamper resistance or electronic monitoring.

Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap
The Victor Tin Cat is a durable, reusable metal capture device valued for its low long‑term cost and contained catch, which simplifies inspection and recordkeeping during passive monitoring. It offers a middle ground between disposable glue boards and heavy‑duty professional stations: more secure and reusable than glue traps, but generally not lockable or certified for high‑risk food handling locations like the Protecta EVO or Aegis RP.

Aegis RP Bait Station
The Aegis RP Bait Station is a professional, tamper‑resistant bait and monitoring station favored for its secure locking mechanism, weather resistance, and larger bait capacity that lowers service frequency in perimeter and structural programs. Financially it can be more economical than frequent replacement glue boards by reducing visits and bait loss, and technically it competes with the Protecta EVO by offering heavy‑duty security for contractors who prioritize baiting capability alongside passive monitoring.
