Welllll, apparently the place he went to buy traps was out
of the old fashioned kind, so instead of going somewhere
else - he bought glue traps. How "humane" is that????

They are "humane" in no sense of the word.


I told him as soon as I found out what kind of trap it was
that if he insisted on putting them out that I was NOT going
to deal with the results. Yup! Now we have an alive mouse
stuck to that damned thing. Hubby is trying to talk
everyone in the household into dealing with it (except me of
course, because I made my position clear in the beginning).


Take a broomstick and wack the mouse hard on the back of it's neck if
you can't get it out of the trap. It's neck will be broken and it will
die instantly.
Thats what I had to do (at the pest control companies recommendation)
when a pest control company used them at a former place of employment .
Then throw the trap away preferably in a manner where some other
predator can't get to it and get stuck in it.
