Glue traps which can cause immense suffering could be banned, as the government plans a consultation into their use.
The Telegraph understands that ministers are pushing for an imminent consultation, and hope this will lead to a ban, as there is no justification for their use.
The traps are used to catch rodents, but animals including favourite garden birds and household pets have been known to get stuck to them, becoming injured or even dying.

The UKâs world-leading ban on importing, exporting and dealing in items containing elephant ivory in the UK moves a step closer today following the launch of a consultation on the implementation of the Ivory Act.
Once implemented, the Ivory Act, which was a key government manifesto commitment, will introduce a near total ban on the import, export and dealing of items containing elephant ivory in the UK, regardless of their age, allowing only for a narrowly defined set of exemptions.
Elephants are the worldâs largest land mammal and can live past 60 years of age in the wild. However they are commonly targeted for their tusks. The savanna elephant populations declined by about 30 per cent â equal to 144,000 elephants â across 15 African countries between 2007 and 2014. The UKâs landmark Ivory Act will help protect the worldâs elephants by banning sales of ivory that may contribute to poaching.
