In that job, I could detach myself from it to a certain extent, but when it came to directly killing pest species (as opposed to simply laying traps or poison) I really found it unpleasant. I hate the idea of killing animals, even though I spent several years working in Pest Control. Posts: 5830 | From: Texas | Registered: Jan 2008 I hate hurting living feeling creatures! And my big fear is some neighbor will take a look at why is a kitchen trash can in my front yard, and set the poor thing free. I wish I knew something to put in the water that would make it faster and less painful.

So instead I filled the kitchen trash can half full of water, in my yard, and got him into it and got the rest of the trash out so he has nothing to stand on. I was going to throw the plastic bag, tied shut with him in it, in the dumpster, but at some point he'd claw or eat thru the bag, and the trash can has holes, he'd get out and back into my house. Garbage can almost empty, plastic bag lined slippery sides, he couldn't - or hadn't yet figured out a way to - get out.
