Glue trapped

Dear Exterminators who put the glue traps in our apartment building,

You bastards. Jess found a small mouse stuck in one of the traps today. Could you have used a more inhumane device? He was squealing, shaking violently and pissing himself. One of his legs was bent backwards and stuck down to the glue. We brought him outside, put a bag over his head, and crushed him quickly with a cinder block.

Sorry, Mr Mouse.

Glue traps for mice? Really? I'm not sure I'd even wish that on a squirrel... and I *HATE* squirrels. We had a mouse and squirrel problem last year, and Pete & Elaine found these traps that look like blue plastic boxes. One end is open, bait is placed way in the back, and when the critter walks close to it, he shorts between two metal plates and gets electrocuted. As long as you use heavy-duty batteries and replace them each time, it's supposed to be an instant demise. They worked well for the mice, but the squirrels just avoided them altogether.
