How to Remove a Mouse From a Super Glue Board
There are many types of devices used to catch mice. In addition to traditional traps and poison, there are also methods that catch mice without killing them. Glue boards (boards covered with super glue), are one option and can be strategically placed around the house. Food is placed on the board to entice the mouse, and once it steps onto the board, it is stuck and cannot run away. The mouse can be safely removed from the glue board and placed outside, away from your home. Does this Spark an idea?
