How to Get Rid of a Mouse from a Glue Trap?

Mouse Glue Traps

Certainly no, you can not simply just trash the squirm in vermin. In the event that you're the proud possessor of a mouse stuck to a sticky trap, in that case you're stuck with the challenge of putting the creature out of its misery.

The pest control company left one or two glue traps in my yard and a mouse was stuck by one of them. It's a painful process and also inhumane to let the mouse die in the glue trap, so I am searching for a way to kill a glue-trapped mouse in a way that meets the following requirements: humane ( needs to be quick and effective), safe and sound (I got bit when I tried to remove the mouse from the board), clean (ideally just kill and throw into trash bin). I am just considering spending $20-$50 on a stun gun, nevertheless I'm not sure if a stun gun can kill a mouse in a couple of seconds.

Whack It

Use a solid glove (the gardening kind is recommended ). Flip a Ziplock or perhaps similar plastic bag inside out and cover your glove by using it. Firmly get hold of the mouse (and its associated trap) by using your gloved, "plasticked" hand and with your free hand, roll the Ziplock back out and so you can seal it completely, with the mouse trapped inside. Place it on the floor, preferably a driveway or garage. Whack the poor thing with a heavy magazine or possibly a shoe; make sure that you hit its head for near-instantaneous death. It has already suffered enough; this will help it pass on sooner. Just after you do this, please make sure you clear away all the glue traps your pest control folks installed.

Stomp It

Quick, humane, and even approved by the United States Marine Corps. Ooh-rah! ('Course when you're done you have to clean out the waffle with a stick, nevertheless what the hell, you are not able to have everything, right? )

Gas It

Reported by Cait McKeown, a National Mice Club (UK) member and judge, the most humane method of mouse euthanasia is chloroform. The fact is that, the chemical is hazardous (even deadly in high dosage) to humans as well as mice, so it's challenging to obtain. Also impractical for a lot of people, veterinarians sometimes use halothane or another anesthetic gas. Using these methods, the mouse becomes unconscious not having pain before death.

Many other methods, including breaking the neck, decapitation, drowning, and freezing are painful for the mouse. This may or may not be an problem for you since these are not pet mice, but a lot of people will have a problem in execution. The "quick" methods might not be so quick if you make a mistake. Probably the ideal method is a CO2 chamber such as those used by herpetologists before freezing rodents for food. The most inexpensive source of concentrated carbon dioxide is dry ice, but the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends compressed CO2 gas in cylinders as a way to control the inflow of gas.

Their guidelines are: Without pre-charging the chamber, place the animal(s) in the chamber and introduce 100% carbon dioxide. A fill rate of about 10% to 30% of the chamber volume per minute with carbon dioxide, added to the existing air in the chamber should be appropriate to achieve a balanced gas mixture to fulfill the objective of rapid unconsciousness with minimal distress to the animals. (Example for a 10-liter volume chamber, use a flow rate of 1 to 3 liter(s) per minute. ) Sudden exposure of conscious animals to carbon dioxide concentrations of 70% or greater has been shown to be distressful. If you regularly use sticky traps to control mice, you might consider building a CO2 chamber-there are plenty of designs out there. However I personally choose using snap traps that provide a much quicker death as well as are easy to dispose of.
