The use of glue traps should be banned because they are very cruel.they are used mostly in homes for rats.no one likes rats in their home, if you have that problem use the snap traps, the rat dos not suffer. they use glue traps and if the user doesn't check it every day the rat will die a slow agonizing death.then some people put Them outside and then federally protected birds get trapped and are tortured slowly along with the lizards.
