    I think those glue / stick traps are inhumane for any animal. I moved to catch and release eventually but if you think you must kill then do so in a way that minimizes suffering. For mice the “snap” traps should generally kill quickly by snapping the neck or spine and seem much more humane than stick traps.

      I bought a glue trap once and caught a rat. The poor thing was whining for hours until I finally had to snap it’s neck by hand. Never again. I don’t know why these things exist
