What do you do with a live mouse on a glue trap?

Can a mouse survive a glue trap?

A. Mice trapped on a glue board or glue tray seldom live long enough for you to find them alive. They have very fast metabolisms and need to eat nearly all the time. They expire from lack of energy in at most a few hours.

Can a mouse escape a sticky trap?

A. If you set out glue traps singly rather than in pairs, larger rodents can do a long jump over the trap. They might just get one of their hind paws stuck in the glue. They can drag the trap back to a hole in the wall and pull it off, or, in a few cases, they will even gnaw off their paw to escape.

Glue traps immobilize mice and rats, leaving them to slow dehydrate, suffer and die. The traps, which use a strong adhesive to render animals who walk upon them unable to escape, are cheap and seemingly effective. They are also incredibly cruel: they trap mice and rats, but they don't actually kill them.

Are mice smart enough to avoid glue traps?

No, they are not that smart, but they may start to avoid traps for other reasons. When you bait the trap again, other mice may sense the dead mouse smell and be repelled by it. This is one reason why some people think mice are very smart, and can work out that mouse traps are dangerous things for them.

Will mice come back if you release them?

House mice are not the same as field mice. They do not live in the “great outdoors.” If you release them right next to your house, then yes, they will find their way back in. If you release them as little as a 20 yards away, you release them to certain death as something's dinner within hours.
