Aren Glue Boards cruel?
As cruel as it sounds, reality dictates that in order to control pests, you must kill them. Traps and poisons do the same thing. Traps rarely kill pests but do irreparable damage. Poisons can take days to kill after ingestion of a poison. Glue boards enable you to cleanly and safely capture one or more pests at one time allowing you to dispose of them humanely. The real goal should be to check on your traps regularly and remove and dispose of any pest that may be trapped.
