Seeing mice inside the house create a lot of problem and mess for the person. There are many techniques developed for catching or removing the mouse from the house. Firstly, keep the food in a metal container. This will not attract the mouse at all.
Other than this, many traps are also available in the market which is helpful in catching the mouse. Some of the traps are: snap traps, glue traps, bucket traps, electrical mouse traps, disposable mouse traps etc.
Glue trap is one of the available traps and in use by people. They are considered as an inhumane way of catching the mouse. Glue traps are useful in killing the mouse but they give a lot of pain to the creature. Due to this reason, people avoid to use them.
How to use glue traps?
- Glue or liquid form of oil is stuck to the trap box
- It is placed where there are more chances of seeing the mouse.
- Bait is placed on the trap, so that the mouse is attracted towards it and gets caught in the trap.
- When the mouse crawls onto the trap for eating bait, it gets stuck to the surface of the trap.
- This can cause the animal to die or worse circumstances can be expected.
- On the other hand, if the mouse is alive for some time, it can die later on due to non-movement.
- This type of mouse trap gives a lot of injury to the mouse and the end result is death, which is a low process.
