GLUE TRAPS ARE INHUMANE!
This graphic may be hard to look at, but it
is not near as di昀케cult to see as the real
thing. Fly and glue traps are horrendous
objects of cruelty—they oven}mes catch
other small animals such as birds, small
rep}les and bats. Most of these trapped
animals su昀昀er for days and do not survive
the stress, starva}on and dehydra}on that
occurs from being stuck on these traps.
Glue traps should never be used for mice
either, as there are humane alterna}ves
available. If you must use 昀氀y strips or glue
traps for insects, please cover them with
chicken wire or another type of mesh that
allows insects in while keeping small, innocent animals out of harms way.
A special thank you to Happy Valley Bats for
