To those advocating against Sticky Traps, ive just used a set of 4 sticky's to catch both a Rat and then a mouse that have been living in my kitchen avoiding my two cats who wait hunting for them all the time. The rat has ran through the house even through their long cat tunnel in living room. When the cats became aware they chased it through the house 3times i cornered it under a desk, then it slipped away until one day with the slider open i litterally ushered it outside with only a determined glare and a sweater to pounce on it if tried anything, it leaped in the air next to the fireplace landed and looked at me realized i would move slow if it moved slow... it thought about escaping but its only option was under the couch where sides were blocked and its been trapped under on several occasions with both my cats hunting it under where they can reach but it hid deeper where they can't and waited them out for hours,,, they are out/indoor so they would leave and rat stayed...happened many times until i ushered the thing out. But i kept Knala inside who was going to catch and eviscerate in in the Garden tho i did not want her brining it in again as she does not kill most of her prey and leaves most unharmed(Lizards) as she lives with a Bearded Dragon. I foolishly left the door open some nights later and the rat had been waiting and Waltz its lucky butt back inside to live.... Cats very clearly notified me it was under refrigerator so i used 4 sticky Mouse traps, upon returning home it was flopping about Lucky as can be as my cats came i very soon and would have annihilated it. It did bleed from a toe as it had struggled but calmed down as i covered it then slowly helped unstick the cute thing, last one was a team effort of using me pulling its tail while she pulled using her hands and pushed with a hooked toe to land in the enclosure i set. Now she lives in my room above Zorro Dragons Dubia Roch Colony. My 3rd Grade teacher breed rats and gave them to her student to keep as pets, i had one for 4 years as a kid and fed my corn snake live mice for 17 years so i see them as much as pets, or pet food as i do as pests. They are remarkably aware and cute little buggers, worth noting Scabberina(she my pet now :3) is far smaller than the male rat i had as a small child who as the time felt like smol pupper. Quite a ridiculous adventure with comical senses ive only seen in Mouse Hunt or Tom n Jerry... The mouse who i only just caught today using the same 4 recycled mouse sticky traps was entirely unharmed(no injured toe) as i audibly witnessed the moment it got stuck and promptly calmed it down then helped into enclosure with food n water. This Mouse has had so much facetime with me as its been living between stove, behind cuppord wall and refrigerator for 19months+ coming out to clean used dishes or find crumbs, highly intelligent tiny thing only my silent lava corn had a chance of catching on the fly, which is where this mouse will end up after its lived out rest of its life. I love Aĺl animals will always put my life at risk to help another good person no matter what species as Humans would never have been able to sustain their evolutionary path in life without that deep unconditional empathed universal kindness engrained into human soul. This may seem an exaggerated level of wholesomeness but meta-Physic spiritual morals aside this conscious understanding of life is practical on a fundamental degree of practical higher functionality as the whole point of life, even through opposing force is only to create systems that perform the most work with the least amount of effort. (Manly P.hall,Alan Watts, JBPeterson) MeaningWave is recommended music for any folks out there. Asolutley every thing in this life carries meaning down to the finest details only until we realise and respect that truth constantly from every angle do we wash our minds of the associate hate and fear that other corrupts minds instill through the life we grow through. Feel for yourself, unify thoughts and emotion and be free to make your own choices through love. Stay true your values that you help form between you and nature's sacred truth's don't be fooled, don't compromise.
