To my mind they are disgusting devices which cannot be used humanely. A multi catch cage or kill traps would be infinitely preferable.
If it were possible I would get my terrier to kill or shoot my rats but sometimes you have to resort to poison or traps. @Clive what brand of sticky trap do you use?

I use the romax boards. They come in two different sizes for rats and mice. Very effective inside but must be checked at least daily and extreme caution used to prevent non targets being caught. You can also get a spray that disolves the glue for releasing corpses etc.

Sticky traps are cruel and indiscriminate.

It’s fine saying you’ll check them 4 times a day, but I’d bet that the majority of users don’t. Find a better way.
