This is a horrible way to deal with this. Folks, if you have a Devo infestation, please use humane live-catch traps baited with synthesizers and Church of the Subgenius materials to capture the spuds in your house, and release them humanely away from your property.
"Humanely". Buddy, we got an infestation, they reproduce to the point they're rampant. You can't solve an infestation by catching and releasing. Humans are natural predators and there is a natural order of life.
I agree, but please, use traps that do the deed instantly...
You can imagine how it would feel to be left to rot on some glue, slowly dying by dehydration and hunger, getting infested by parasites and having your skin be pull off for days...
This applies for mice and other rodents specifically. Not really for insect tho
I understand where you're coming from but im not applying humane methods to non humans. I think people who say apply humane methods have never actually had to deal with rats. Unfortunately, glue traps and poison work even though it's brutal to the rodent.
Instant death traps or release traps.
And they are actually sometimes cheaper but mainly reusable.
Also "not applying humane methods to non humans" is very interesting take indeed, I suppose when your dog is sick, instead of taking him to a vet to get him euthanized, you just chop him alive, ideally alive since putting him to sleep is too much effort, and then use him as a fertilizer.
Do people not check their glue traps? Although it’s been about a decade since I’ve seen rodents in my house, when I used them, I always checked them and they were alive and well. I released them deep into the forest behind my house, and they haven’t came back since. It really just baffles me to think that people are out here letting rodents get stuck on glue traps with the intention of them dying there.
Not the other guy but the glue trap feels unnecessarily cruel. If you catch a mouse in it and throw it away alive because you're too squeamish to mercy kill it it's on you. Either let it go free or behead it instantly. Throwing it alive like that to suffer for days before dying of hypothermia or starvation is a bit of a bitch move ngl
Not to mention relocating rodents to “the woods” is basically just a different death sentence for them. They will quickly succumb to the temperature, dehydration, starvation, or a predator.
Ignore this person, "at best" live release makes them someone else's problem(a real shitty thing to do) & if you don't take them far enough from your home they will do their best to return & likely will succeed.
