Can you get a mouse off of a glue trap with out injuring or killing it?

Question

Can you get a mouse off of a glue trap used for catching mice without injuring or killing it?

I was just curious about if it could be done.

Answer 1

put it in a shallow pool of water, not too deep so it doesn't drown, and see if the glue dissolves or loosens. maybe that could make it easier to get it off, and wear gloves.

Answer 2

Nope.

It's designed to hold them until they die.

even crueler than the snap-traps.. aye?

Answer 3

No. They have traps that are humane that dont hurt the mouse or kill it called "smart" mouse traps.

Answer 4

you'll probably end up ripping its limbs off or having it bite you...

Answer 5

I guess it is possible But very unlikely.That's what there made for is to stick and not come off and then throw away.

Answer 6

Yes, if you have access to a beard trimmer you can shave it out of the glue trap. Just make sure your rabies shot is up to date.

Answer 7

I knew I had seen something about glue traps before here are a few ways to get it off without hurting the mouse

and I have seen this on a few sites

"You can dissolve the glue. Wearing gloves, add vegetable oil to dissolve the glue and, with a pencil, push the mouse off."

Answer 8

No. The glue holds the mouse down and when they try to chew their way off, their mouths and noses get covered in the glue and stuck to the pad so that they sufficate.

Answer 9

why use trap anyway????????????
