What to do if a non-target animal is caught in a glue trap

Tom -

Special care should be given to non-target species that inadvertently come in contact with glue boards/trays.​ 

​Whether venomous or not (and especially if you're unsure), Catchmaster recommends contacting the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Central Office during normal business hours at (320)-230-9920 to find the location of a NWRA member closest to your location for their guidance and assistance. Link: National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (nwrawildlife.org). If it is urgent or if you elect to handle it yourself, Cover exposed adhesive with shredded paper or a paper towel so that the creature does not become more stuck. Gently work vegetable or mineral oil into the contact area to free the creature slowly.
