Glue traps are inhumane if you don't know how to release the mice from the traps. How? Lemon juice! :D

Of course, if you don't have a place to release the mice, then yes, glue traps are inhumane. D:

Just make sure you pour the lemon juice eye first to release the little shits.

lol, he's guilty for using the glue traps so he just throws them into a plastic bag in the trash to die of thirst and hunger. I hope its your house garbage so their death squeaks haunt your dreams!

One experience with glue traps is why I learned to master the snap trap instead.

I couldn't throw the face-planted glue trap in the garbage where the mouse would slowly starve to death in my apartment, so I did the only humane thing I could do, which was to throw it out the window onto a busy 3rd Avenue during rush hour in Manhattan.

Our cat leaves them on the deck. Thanks, cat!

I've always wondered - dogs and cats kill things, then you let them lick you in the face...? Or climb all over your furniture and bed?

When we had a dog, we treated it like a child. Keep away from dirty shit.

BTW, glue traps are awesome for killing camel crickets. I love it the more they suffer.

I have a theory on this. I think modern humans are too averse to grime. I'm a pretty clean guy at home, and even neat, but I don't really care what my dog has stuck his face into, or whether someone touched my burger with a bare finger when they were making it. The world is full of little creatures. Millions of them live in and on me and I don't give a shit about those either. And I almost never get sick. The last time I had a significant illness was a 24 hour thing a couple of years ago. I don't even get colds. When you embrace the bugs, your body learns to kill them. Or at least that's my theory :).
