It kills them. More humane than using a squirrel gun to kill them.

Don't be silly! You use a slug-gun.

A pair of old scissors works.

My daughter's partner used to snip 'em in two, but couldn't do so if her
friend was visiting, because if he went out with the scissors in his
hand she ran down the garden after him shrieking obscenities.
