What do you do with a rat that's stuck on a glue rat trap but still alive?

Help! I feel so mean! I thought they were supposed to die quickly. This sucks!What do you do with a rat that's stuck on a glue rat trap but still alive?
Get rid of the glue traps all together...as for the poor animal stuck in your trap, if you really want to set him free take him outside way away from your house and dump olive oil on his feet and the trap. It should release him and you dont have to get close to him...once he is free trust me if he isnt close to death he isnt going to attack you, he is just going to take off. If he is close to death then there isnt a heck of a lot you can do except to end his suffering....as I said get rid of hte glue traps. ShazWhat do you do with a rat that's stuck on a glue rat trap but still alive?
STOMP THE CRAP OUT OF IT
It is a rat. -- Kill it. Or at least throw it out back so the neighborhood cat can find it. Throw it in the freezer and close the door. do not open it until tomorrow. Then just throw it away.
EWWW THROW THAT MESS OUTSIDE BY THE DUMPSTER AND WATCH THE RACCONS AND THE CATS GET iT LMAOOOON pretty bad huh?
I always scoop into a coffe can I won't touch them even with a glove incase they bite. What you do after that is up to you.
Glue traps are probably the nastiest of the rodent traps. The rodent will just lay there and get more and more stuck. It will suffer for 2 or 3 days slowly starving. The glue trap is a mess and likely will stick to you when you pick it up to throw it away. If it's a rat you caught, BE CAREFULL they bite! ! ! Of course, so do mice.
first of all why would u ever use one of those ev il devices. All they do is trap the poor animal so that they can starve to death, after ripping their legs off trying to escape. Sometimes they even get their toungs caught on the glue. Evil Evil things.





Now that u have cause the slow pain and suffering to a little creaturre,u want someone else to help u destroy it. Ok take a hammer and hit it in the head, and then stick urself to a large sheet of sticky paper. never use those evil devices, snap traps are more humaine.





Good Morning KristinB





I tried to answer ur post but it would not go through, so I am answering the post here.





I am sorry that I came down so hard about the live traps. I just do not like traps that does not kill the rodents quickly I understand that with a child in the house that u do not want to use poison.





Maybe U can get ur landlord to get some live traps, those catches the vermin and does not torture them. I use to have lots of mice problems since I have lots of rent houses around my place. I have been luckly to get a nest of nonpoisonous grass snakes living on my property, they keep the mice population down real well. And they do not bother anyone and are harmless.





And U are wrong, there is people out here that really does care. I just have a thing for Mother Natures critters. Everyone of them has a place on Earth, some of them just not in our houses.





Again I am sorry for coming down so hard, But i sure wish that they would quit making those types of traps. No critter deserves to suffer needlessly.





Hope that U and the landlord can get the problem solved.

well they dont die from sitting in glue


it will die from starvation


just snap the poor lil things neck
Don't feel mean! They did not ask you if they could be there. On a glue trap they are not going to die unless you leave them there to starve. Your best bet is to get the traps, then throw the whole thing away when you catch one (their cheap). Just don't EVER use a ';bait';, they will eat it, then go off somewhere to die, and you have to put up w/ then smell.
Sad to say, but glue traps are more cruel than the old fashioned, spring loaded rat traps that break the creature's neck.





To end its misery quickly you'll need to club it. Throw a garbage bag on top of him and hammer his head in with a heavy object. Be prepared for some clean up. And remember don't get too close to get bitten.





If you had a good pellet gun that would do the job cleaner, but it's not likely that you have one around.
Ziplock bag works quick and less messy.
throw it far away from ur house and ignore it, its mean but i cant bear to kill the thing
If you can't bring yourself to kill the thing, place the whole trap in a garbage bag, then bunch the bag's neck around your car's exhaust pipe. Wrap some tape around to hold it tight on the pipe, and then run the car. The engine will probably die after a bit, because of the exhaust being closed off. But the carbon monoxide will kill the animal well before the engine dies. This is probably one of the most humane ways, short of lethal injection or electrocution (I won't go there...) You could probably also weigh the thing down in a tub of water. But gas is more humane than drowning.





Whatever you do, DON'T leave it out somewhere for other animals to get, unless you are so morbid you want to see the other ones get stuck in the glue as well. That stuff is messy.
poor guy thats why I hate those things.


you have to either hit him with a shovel or drowned him. either way its not a nice experience for you (and definitely not for him)
