I have just seen in a pound shop some awesome mouse and rat traps.
They are effectively cardboard tunnels with very strong glue on the
internal "walk-way".

It says on the packaging - please dispose of any caught animals
humanely!!

Certainly:
Lump Hammer? Stanley knife? or just a size ten footstep on the
complete issue?

It is not humane to leave them stuck to the trap for hours/days.

But do their legs get pulled off if you try and remove them?

No, not at all, at all.

They pull them off themselves.

And unfortunately I am not joking.

In his greengrocers shop my uncle used to use some gook called Dak
which he spread on a piece of cardborad box and left on the floor in
rat runs.

Usually in the morning all was left was one or more sets of four feet
glued to the cardboard. 8-((

Oh that's horrid. Much more horrid than finding half of one chewed up
on the floor.

Nothing horrid about the death of vermin, however they die.

How is it humane to stick them to anything for any time at all? I am
surprised they can be imported. I dare say someone should alert the
RSPCA. What sort of cnut would stock them?

Sure. Poison them and let them die in agony instead.

Good grief. A mouse has little imagination really..and probably zero
sense of time.

It will try pulling itself free, till it gets tired out, then lie there
waiting for whatever comes next.

SPLAT!

Take them to Guantanamo bay instead!

Or lock them up without charge for 28 days.

Better than having them walking around!

A 'snap' trap is better cos it stands a better chance of killing the beggars
straight away!

I didn't say it was better to leave them walking around.

It will kill them more quickly, but often not straight away. Mice in
particular tend to just get their snout caught by one and then
presumably they die of the pain.

I've only seen one (two actually, babies in the same trap - it must be
unusual) which had been caught by the snout. All others have died of a
headache.

My experience is the other way round.

Good, so it will teach them not to come into my house!

Put them in a hospice, and let them die in peace.
