  You can get mice off glue traps using vegetable oil. It does make them covered in oil which probably isn’t great for them.

    Great for even cooking though.

      At that point you can just deep fry them

    Apparently they can get themselves off certain glue traps. I worried when I caught one I had in the kitchen as a bug deterrent (I had a very sloppy housemate for a short while) whether I should kill it outright or let it starve to death ( which was more humane, stomping it ir show starvation outside?) When I looked, it was gone, trap was there. I set a proper trap with a goat milk cream cheese spread on it and it hasn't touched it. Maybe it's the garlic...

      IMO a swift end is preferable to a prolonged demise.

        I agree, but stomping it just seemed so brutal. Hence the proper trap. I need to clean it off and put peanut butter on it.

    Yeah, they might slip when they run away from the cat they are presented to later in the day.
