That does sound like terrible mess. I stepped in a glue trap at camp once. I forgot about it and then after checking things out in the camp I stepped right on it. I haven’t been to the camp all winter and then in the spring getting it ready is when it happened. What a damn mess it was getting it off my shoe. It had the remains of two or three dead mice in it and my shoe.. Do I guess it worked well. But I haven’t experienced what you did that’s for sure. I don’t think that I would want to. One glue trap is enough for me to experience..
