Those sticky traps are a terrible idea. Who the hell would want to pick it up with a live mouse on it.

@tonyb6029 I seriously do not give a shit if a mouse dies horribly. It's the most annoying animal I know of. Fucking disgusting

Every time the weather gets bad here we get a few field mice that find their way into the house. We have cats but they never want to kill them just play with them. Spring traps do well for me but they can be messy sometimes. Glue traps are less messy but if you're like me you don't like seeing animals suffer no matter how much of a problem they are. So I usually but a piece of plastic wrap underneath a spring trap so if there are any entrails of brain matter it's easier to clean up.

@chevon1920 i dont i just let them stay there and starve

Glue traps are cruel, they are nothing less than torture.

Also, you only say when the mouse has been caught to throw the trap away. What, throw the trap away and let the mouse suffer for days more to come? Still concious, still in pain, still suffering?

@chevon1920 a hamer comes in handy or just let them starve to death.

I had one last year, caught his nasty butt, and adopted not one, but two cats. Now guess what? Somehow the cats got fleas, and never were allowed outside. Someone explain how did that happen? Now, I am about to get rid of their butts, too! I can't take these vermins at all! Neighbors have bedbugs and everything else, and very clean people. What do we do to keep everything out that shouldn't get in? It seems like every precautions are no longer working.

Simply own hostile cats as pets.

Mice and rats are quite intelligent; if you kill one with a trap others avoid it, as they recognize it is dangerous. Find out where they nest or enter and place a glue board in their path of entry. I think they're less prone to recognize these. I just trapped one in my garage and finished it off with a shovel. I believe in killing Nature's creatures for fun, but the little MF chewed through the canvas top of my Jeep and it's costing me around $250 to replace the back window.

@chevon1920 Leave it on there a few days, and the "live" problem goes away.
