A video shared by Florida Wildlife Hospital and Sanctuary to Facebook on June 21 shows the realities of glue traps for bigger creatures such as snakes.

The video showed workers with the wildlife hospital attempting to detach a small snake from the trap, and the caption to the video encouraged people to do away with the devices when animals like snakes are technically bug traps themselves. “They help keep down bugs like roaches and other animals like mice and rats. They are free pest control! Why spend money on traps when they will catch pests for free?” wrote the hospital. Credit: Florida Wildlife Hospital & Sanctuary via Storyful
