You know those sticky glue traps people use to catch mice and flies? They are BAD. Please don't use them. I'm constantly seeing wild animals being brought in to the wildlife center that have been stuck in those glue traps-- hummingbirds, snakes, songbirds, hawks, etc. Often times the animals will break their backs trying to get loose from a trap. It's extremely sad to see.
A kestrel (the smallest American hawk) was stuck in a trap, and (luckily) we were able to save most of its feathers and release in back into the wild this summer.
Just a couple days ago I released a Pacific Ringneck snake back into the wild. He'd come in stuck in a glue trap. This snake is harmless and helps keep the insect population down.
Just felt like I needed to pass this information on, hopefully people will stop using glue traps!
