exactly how large of rodents are you dealing with?Stryc9 said:I tried using glue traps outside one time. I found the first one flipped over like the rat realized what it was and managed to jump off before it got too stuck to it and got away.
The only other time I put one out I caught a rat in it and it had just stood there for the better part of a day, it didn't even try to free itself. I ended up taking a .22 to it's head.
I figure that glue traps are a waste of money. When we had a rat problem, thanks to the hippie up the street that likes to release his rats at the stop sign at the end of my road, I found I was more effective picking them off with said .22 when they came out to eat. It was a quicker end for the rats...usually...and cost me less money.
i would think a .22 would be a little over kill and start 'popping' common house mice...
ontop of this.
glue traps don't work outside.
the dust and mostiure make it less sticky and make it easier for the rodents to escape.
