There are different types actually. The one a past roommate had for his attic had no real killing use except if you forgot to check it, in which case dehydration or starving would kill. It involved one way entrances, and normal food like peanut butter as bait.

There are rules in Australia that if you set a trap for an animal you must check the trap at least daily. I don’t know that people actually follow that when it comes to nice though

And then you release the mouse close by and it’s back inside real quick, or you release it far away and it’ll be inside someone else’s house real quick, or you release it in “nature” and I’ll die anyway because house mice have evolved to survive in houses.
Kill traps suck, but “humane” traps either don’t solve the problem or are worse.

Ah yes, finding the rotting corpse of a long-dead rat, maggoty and moldy, bones and fur and decay… much less disturbing.

Bruh at this point youre gonna argue that toilets also death traps with the only function to store “dead bodies covered with shit and piss, left rotting for months”
