Never used the humaine traps only if they get stuck in a empty feed bin, then i cant go anywhere near them, (have to run and get hubby to tip them out again) so dont think i'd be able to let them out of a trap they'd starve to death!!
I put poision in a plastic milk bottle, cut the hole a little bigger, put some red paint on it (Everyone here knows to leave the red one's well alone) and a bit of string on the handle ties it down. The hens can not get their head in to eat the poision, and i dont know if the smell of the old milk inside attracts them but they always seem to eat from the bottles better than enything else.
Dont know if thats any help
