Do NOT use glue traps!!! They are seriously inhumane because the animal gets stuck and sits there and starves for days or it's face gets stuck in the glue and it suffocates!!! %26gt;_%26lt;


If you absolutely MUST kill the rats/mice than I strongly suggest you use ';snap traps'; that way there is no suffering. :/


If you have a bigger heart than I would rather you get some live traps and release them some where else. :)Can you make a glue trap for mice and rats if not what is the best way to catch them in a cage trap what bait?
NEVER use glue traps. They are horrible. And there is a possibility that your chickens/chicks could get stuck to them as well.





When an animal gets stuck in a glue trap they will struggle to escape. This means ripping flesh, breaking bones, some animals may even chew through limbs to escape. Some suffocate. It's a slow and gruesome death.





If you are concerned for your chickens set up some live traps, or secure the area they live in so that the rats cannot get in.





Edit: I have seen plenty of people suggest snap traps. These are also not humane. There is no guarantee that it will snap the neck/back of a rodent and kill them quickly. Some get stuck and struggle to escape for hours, or have internal injuries and unable to even attempt to move. Which means you will have to go in wherever you keep your chickens and you may have to take out still struggling rodents that are a mess to even look at.





Really any trap that attempts to kill an animal has no guarantee of killing in a quick humane manner. It's sad to say. If you are prepared for a heart wrenching scene of gore, you can try, but the safest and most humane way is to just get live traps.
you can't make your own glue traps... suggest either the snap traps that break their necks (a more humane way to go) or poison that your chickens can't get into... there is also a company that makes a trap that electrocutes the mice http://www.victorpest.com/





or make a bucket trap:

Glue traps are absolutley inhumane.


It is a slow painful death for it.


Why don't you set up a HUMANE trap which will not harm it, then later release it back in the wild. Like another user said if you MUST kill them (which I strongly recommend and hope you dont) use snap traps. Then it's a quick pain free death.


Please use a humane trap
crush some glass and put it in some peanut butter it kills them but take it away when the chicks hatch
