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.

Don’t bother with glue traps if you’re looking to be humane. It’s a horrific way to go, often involving limbs desperately chewed or ripped off in addition to creating warier mice. Poison is terrible but the most effective method. Creating a rat trap bucket is far and away the most humane method but is very, very hit or miss. A beautiful bandaid for managing a population without destroying it, or a means of saving as many animals as possible before purging those that remain. Just my experiences.

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

Great for even cooking though.

At that point you can just deep fry them
