In just the past few weeks, we've responded to three animals suffering because of glue traps and each rescue was a heartbreaking reminder of why these devices need to go. This baby possum was found stuck in a glue trap with its mother and sibling by his side.
Glue traps don't discriminate. They're marketed for insects, mice, and rats, but they catch whatever wanders across them: songbirds, snakes, lizards, baby wildlife, and even pets. Animals that get stuck don't die quickly. They panic. They pull. They can tear off feathers, scales, or skin trying to escape. Some are still alive, exhausted and terrified, when they're found hours or days later.
There are so many better options:
✅ Live/humane traps
✅ Seal entry points (the most effective long-term fix)
✅ Call a pest control professional who uses humane methods
If you find a wild animal stuck in a glue trap, don't pull, as you can make injuries worse. Call us at 281-275-2364 or reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator right away.
