As a card carrying member of the Bleeding Heart Tree Huggers, I have to
ask: Is anyone else concerned about the potential cruelty of these
sticky traps? Of course we must monitor our spaces for damaging pests,
and OK, I can see them for insects, especially with close monitoring.
But it concerns me on several different levels (practical; ethical,
etc.) to think of mice stuck in them and dying slowly. Can't be a decent
way to die. And carcasses attract insects! I'm not trying to begin a big
ethical discussion but would like the list to know about any
alternatives that people might be using. Anyone?

Peace and love,
