Your Day

I remember my first job working at my friend's dad's warehouse and they had those toxic glue mouse traps and while sweeping one day I found a trap with a mouse fully trapped and wiggling and I had no idea what to do and I was like 18 and every inch a child so I ran to get the manager thinking he'd know what to do but he just crushed it with a shovel. I felt betrayed but realized I wasn't surprised because of course that's what would happen. I'm sure he probably was rolling his eyes at me but was a nice enough guy that he was trying to be a redneck dad about it and using it as a "man up" teaching moment.

I still feel bad about that mouse.

I had this Liberian manager that ninja'd a mouse with a shovel. It was just "MOUSE!" then BAM, it was over in like 3 seconds.

Yeah. Just kill it quickly if it's a poison trap that'll kill the rat no matter what you do. Gore is part of nature too and the rat won't thank you for drawing out its suffering just cause you're too scared to put it out of its misery quickly. A shovel will do the job just fine. I'm just glad it's you and not me cause I'd still feel like Hitler with that shovel.

I don't use poison because it is unreliable, and I don't want half dead toxic rats running around where my dog plays. I feel like with a shovel I would **** it up more and still not kill it and then just puke and cry. And then what, I have to clean the shovel? In this economy? I hate it all.

Put the shovel over it and then step on the shovel with your full weight. It should be more than enough to kill anything.

Jesus Christ

No. Just hit directly in the head with the shovel and put its corpse in a black garbage bag tie it up and throw it out.

All these ideas are just torturing it.

No poison. No plucking away with a pellet gun. No crushing.

Just kill it quickly and directly ffs

Pour bleach on it and spray it off.
