Over the years I have had to rescue good snakes from glue traps at neighbors homes. I tell them, don't use them, there are better traps. Well our pest company put some in our garage and didn't mention it. Found them today and there was a huge skink stuck in one. I thought damn that's a shitty way to go out and I really like skinks. Well he was still alive. I got him out and he was a glue mummy. Nah bruh, I got you.
 Attached File Attached File Attached FileSome dawn in warm water to consolidate the sticky, 30 mins of slowly pulling, he was clean. He tried to bite for the first few minutes before giving in. Still some one the tail, but he can live with that or ditch the tail. Don't use glue traps people. |

I'll use the ones that take vegetable oil as a solvent as a release aid in the event of a wrong capture.

I used a lot of them when I lived in Kentucky. Place I lived had lots of brown recluse spiders running about (yes, I know what actual brown recluse look like). Glue traps caught lots of them. Haven't needed them since I moved back to Ohio.

I have been leaving water out for all the skinks living in my shrubs. They coexist with the chameleons.
I even tap the tops of the shrubs before I hedge trim to give them time to leave. I think there has to be nearly 20 chameleons hanging around my house. |

Glue traps are just cruelty for convenience. There are lots of good ways to kill mice and rats. Glue traps aren't one of them.

If you have camel crickets, you will use glue traps, demolition, hydraulic cement, Drylok, dehumifiers, a dumpster for your stuff, etc, whatever it takes to kill them and remove their habitat.

If you are using glue traps you should be checking them regularly and giving a swift death to any rodents or insects you catch. The advantage glue traps have over snap traps and others is all the nasty creatures that live on a rodent jump ship as soon as they die. Better to have them outside your house when that moment comes.

I have actually had success with glue paper and mice. I will admit that it is cruel though seeing the little fucker writhe trying to get free. I drown them in the sink as a mercy.

We have two examples in this thread of desirable animals saved through the use of glue traps that wouldn't have survived the springs and jaws of traditional mouse traps so I guess I don't understand.

I use the mouse traps that look like a hockey puck. Just wind it up and once its on the green you know you got one. Just throw it away and you never even see the dead mouse.
