Q. Can a mouse survive a glue trap?

Answer

They will eventually tire of the futile battle, fall face down in the glue, and suffocate to death when the glue gets stuck in their noses. Exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition are the three leading causes of death in such situations. This may take three hours, or it may take a full day. Larger rats can easily avoid glue traps if they are placed alone rather than in pairs.
