DO NOT use a Glue trap, these are inherently cruel and their use can never be justified! This trap has a slow death by dehydration and starvation caused by the glue traps constitutes extreme suffering and cannot be tolerated by anyone who is compassionate or rational.
These traps are indiscriminate, capturing not only rats and mice, but also birds, squirrels, snakes, gerbils, and other small animals, even kittens. Animals who become stuck to these boards often suffer for days before finally succumbing to death. As the animals struggle to escape to try and live, the strong adhesive rips patches of skin, fur, or feathers off their bodies. Many animal will even chew off their own limbs in an effort to free themselves.
