I "kind of" agree. I would never use one outdoors, but in the house could be a slightly different issue. As an example, we began experiencing an issue with mice, that had somehow made it into our home. My husband placed glue traps at bedtime in a couple of areas, such as the kitchen, and pantry. During the night, he would hear a bit of commotion, and check the traps. Sure enough, mice were caught. After trapping, and killing a total of five in one week, we called an exterminator, and paid to have the house completely sealed, and traps set for any future critters. The company came back to check the traps every three days, for a couple of weeks. It worked! We've had no more issues! Wasn't cheap, but was $$$'s well spent.

But I do completely agree that these should NOT be used for outdoor use!
