How to remove rodents using one-way exclusion funnels

How to use one-way exclusion funnels to remove rodents without trapping them? This is important question that has practical implications. But on the other hand, it seems insane as well. It is so because it is not possible to remove rodents without trapping them. Various methods are used for this purpose. Glue traps are traps that involve sticky adhesive (a glue) on a flat surface that will trap smaller rodent and keep it in place until it dies, or until someone comes and kills it. In many of states, glue traps are forbidden because they are considered as inhumane traps that torture animals and cause unnecessary stress and pain. In other states, glue traps can be used only by licensed and properly authorized pest control managers, and only in specific areas, such as food manufacturing locations. This doesn't include supermarkets, restaurants or fast foods, so it is illegal to use glue traps in such premises. Electronic snap traps are new idea that is made for mouse and rat catching.

Check the attic for droppings and use trap where you see the droppings and place bait at the traps and set them carefully. Remove and dispose the rodent you catch.

There are traps that electrocute trapped animal. Electrical shock will kill animal quickly (which is actually humane solution), which makes this new invention an economical, easy to use and efficient solution.
