This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I agree, but stomping it just seemed so brutal. Hence the proper trap. I need to clean it off and put peanut butter on it.

Don’t bother with glue traps if you’re looking to be humane. It’s a horrific way to go, often involving limbs desperately chewed or ripped off in addition to creating warier mice. Poison is terrible but the most effective method. Creating a rat trap bucket is far and away the most humane method but is very, very hit or miss. A beautiful bandaid for managing a population without destroying it, or a means of saving as many animals as possible before purging those that remain. Just my experiences.

I've had the best luck with snap traps. They're kind of brutal but they're quick

They’re very humane but the bucket is more so. They’re also effective but the poison is more so. I just wanted to offer an option where some of the adorable little idiots get to live.
