Glue traps are a type of rodent trap that some people use to catch mice, rats, and other critters. The trap is a sheet covered with a very sticky adhesive, and this type of trap can be a danger to pets, children, wildlife, and all creatures that encounter them. Animals caught in a glue trap will die a long and painful death from exhaustion, starvation, dehydration, from injuries, or exposure if they aren't rescued. Luckily, if you find a mouse or other animal that’s been caught in a glue trap, releasing the animal is quite simple, and the trick is to use vegetable oil to loosen the glue.
