We were going on vacation so we set traps before we left and got 3 mice while we were gone. Then the (now ex) hubby got the great idea to use the glue traps. We caught two with glue traps, but it was so gross to have this live squeaking thing struggling to get off the trap. I used a broom and long handled dustpan to dump the traps into the trash in the garage. One night, I watched 3 mice start their usual route along the baseboard and when each one go to the glue trap, they jumped right over it and kept going!!!! I insisted then that the cheapskate FINALLY call an exterminator, after screaming at the mice that night to "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!". The exterminator put some good poison out and we saw no more mice.. phew!

Oh, don't get me started with the glue traps. I would rather have the snap 'n traps or the humane traps than glue traps. They're cheap, which is why they're used so often.
I saw a certain type of insect in my apartment, so I called the super. A few days later, what shows up in my place but GLUE TRAPS?! I didn't want them, and now they're cluttered with flies and small spiders.
