Glue traps are devices used to capture pests like mice and insects. They consist of a flat board coated with a sticky adhesive that immobilizes any creature that steps on it. These traps are often placed in areas where pests are frequently seen, making them a popular choice for pest control. While glue traps can be effective, they have raised concerns regarding animal welfare. Captured animals may suffer for extended periods before dying, leading to debates about their humaneness compared to other methods like snap traps or live traps. Proper disposal and use are essential to minimize suffering.
