If I was a mouse, I'd rather die of a quick broken neck by an old fashioned mouse trap than dying of old age, stuck to a glue board

If you use a glue board, you can use your Schwarzenegger quote:

Rat posion is a good idea if you like the smell of rotting rat carcasses in your walls! Trust me, it's not a pleasant smell.
A good rat trap is the best. They may look cute, but they're nasty little creatures. Snap their little necks.

yeah, snakes do pretty well. I love mouse traps. They are so much fun to play with. I've made all sorts of lil launchers with em.
Don't use poison. We did that once and the rat ended up "exploding" in our bathroom cabinet. Rat diarrhea is very smell and very messy. We basically tore out the cabinet and bought a new one. 900 bucks later we had finally solved our rat problem.
Yep... mixed with vomiting and it generally turns them inside out, putting their guts outside their body which gets sticky. Then they die. That smells good too.
alright i better inform my landlord about this. So The best way method is some physical method like traps. Glue boards seem to be a good choice. I wonder though once they are on the glueboard, if it is okay to just throw the glueboard away and let them die on it, or kill it on the spot. I want a clean method of disposal ideally.
Use those little boxes that close when then tilt. You don't even have to look at it. If the door is shut, you know it's inside. Then toss it.
I used a glueboard once.
A day later, the cheese was gone and I only saw some footprints and crap on it. I bought a cage.
It was a huge rat.
Get a cage, it gets caught, go out, open the cage and let it go.

Those traps where they go in and it locks kind of seem like a waste of money, unless you plan to reuse it.
Anyone ever experience a cat eating rat poison? =/

There is NEVER one mouse, you have meeses 
In my workshop, rats or squirrels could just walk in around the gap in the garage door...........But NOOOOOOO, they have to climb into the dryer vent and chew through the plastic hose.

Of all the things in my shop to eat, they like to chew or eat used steel wool and used Q Tips with dried ferric chloride acid on them 
At least the rats around here are clean and well groomed "country" rats

BAM!!! One shot, one Kill
I just wondered why use glue boards if they are going to die anyway. If I was a mouse, I'd rather die of a quick broken neck by an old fashioned mouse trap than dying of old age, stuck to a glue board
No, they'd die of starvation first. Much more painful.
I agree. People would rather see them last alive and put them in the garbage than face looking at a dead mouse with his neck mashed in and eyes bulging out!!
