The problem we had with glue traps at the fire station was it caught far more skinks and anole lizards than mice. I kept olive oil on hand to free them. About half the time the lizards were dead from dehydration and fatigue by the 3rd day I came back on shift.

In my experience, nothing beats a cat. For crapping in your flower beds or crapping/peeing in your shop. Yep, that's all they're good for. Do-gooder boomers across the street feed the neighborhood feral cats. There are usually 8 or 10 of them lounging on their front porch, waiting for feeding time. Then they hop over my fence and crap in my backyard. My 1 acre backyard is fenced in, but I can't let my pup loose out there since he developed a taste for cat turds. I hate them all, both the cats and the neighbors. 😠😠😠😠

I hates mieces to pieces.
Nasty, destructive, evil little monsters. Chewing up everything and schidtting all over the damn place. If you have anything made of horn or wool or antler, or other natural materials, they will chew it all to hell. I have had way too much stuff destroyed by the damn little bastards. They all deserve death, and I don't care how gruesome it is.
I keep sticky traps out all the time, in addition to regular mouse traps. The sticky traps pull double duty in catching a LOT of bugs and spiders in the house. I don't like them either...

Little c-suckers somehow got in the clutch of my '06 Ram 3500 Cummins and made a nest. Started to slip so had a new one put in for 2K+. Mechanic said there was 2 dried up bodies in there too. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/htNQTYHQ/20200304-102710.jpg)

I was looking for some glue traps for mice online when this PETA page popped up. It's how to rescue AND RELEASE mice caught on a glue trap. In particular, notice the last sentence. It doesn't mention mice specifically but I got it from their article on how loving, fun, and meticulously clean mice and rats can be. My solution: cover the trap and mouse with a paper towel so you don't get stuck. Carry it outside and set it down. Stomp on it. What to Do if You Find an Animal Stuck on a Glue Trap
1. Gather Supplies
You’ll need a pair of gloves, a dishtowel, baby oil or cooking oil, some tissues, a damp cloth, and a secure container or shoebox with air vents.
2. Get to Work
Cover the animal’s head with the dishtowel to calm him or her down. Then, wearing a pair of gloves, gently massage a few drops of the oil into the area where the animal is stuck. Keep massaging until you are able to work the animal free.
Be sure to keep the amount of oil to a minimum, as it can interfere with natural waterproofing, thus reducing the chance of survival following release. Once the animal has been separated from the glue trap, carefully slide a tissue over the trap to prevent him or her from becoming stuck again.
If you can’t remove the animal from the glue board or if he or she is lethargic or injured, get to a veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitator right away. You can also call PETA for advice at 757-622-7382.
3. Release the Animal
Use the damp cloth to remove any excess oil, and place the animal inside a secure container or shoebox with air vents. Drape the dishtowel over the container to make it dark, and place it in a quiet, warm location so the animal can rest for an hour or two. Active and alert animals can be released outdoors during mild weather within a one-block radius of where they were discovered. If the animal was trapped during extreme weather, he or she should be transported to a wildlife rehabilitator. Or just drop it into a bucket of drain oil......
