Puppy managed to find a stickey board meant to catch mice. Glue is now on my wool rug, table leg and her paw. Anyone got any ideas on what to use to remove it....The wool rug is vegetable dyed and puppy likes to chew and taste everything and anything......worse than a child...worried about making her sick and also ruining my rug. Any ideas to clean one or the other would be more that a little helpful. Thanks Carol
Mayonnaise works wonders for removing sticky stuff. It will not harm the puppy or the finish on your furniture, but I don't think I would try it on your rug. I would opt for "Goo Be Gone" for that. Good luck !

Ditto- PLEASE do not use the glue traps for mice. What a horrible way to die - with your feet glued down and you can't escape . I hate mice in the house as much as anyone and I would NEVER use them. Snap traps usually kill them quickly.

Ditto some more - whomever thought up those glue traps should be forced to undergo an adult-sized one. Not even a mouse deserves to die struggling and starving or go through that kind of torture.
The newer plastic snap traps do a great job, they're reusable, and even if your dog gets into them all they'll get is a little harmless nip.
And you won't have a mess all over your carpet.

Thanks for all help and ideas you ladies gave.....I ended up using DeSolvIt contractors solvent. I worked great!~ Just melted the glue with no injury to the rug or table leg...Smell was a little strong but able to remove most of it with soap and water. Puppy so far still has some glue on her fur...Parents don't want to do anything saying it will wear off and it will (checked with vet). For those worried about the glue traps............. I have a pest control company come to the house every three months....will be asking for a different way to trap the little buggers! We live in country with fields, barns and farm related grains surrounding us, so we have an ongoing battle with the little critters. Thanks again for all the imput.

I only use traps in the garage myself. Having two rat terriers living in the house makes sure the little critters don't last long if they get in.
