Peanut butter and proper trap placement is key. Regardless, the old style traps are better. Even if the animal is only on a glue trap for a couple of hours, it can still injure itself severely. So unless you're monitoring them every hour, the animal is still going to suffer horribly. Some pest control companies and techies don't even use them because they can be that cruel. Sounds like the exterminators you have are lazy and cheap.
I've once a seen a mouse on one with its jaw dislocated, eye hanging out from its socket... it had half its face stuck on the glue. There are people who just throw away the animal in that state into the garbage. It's sick.
It's nice that you end their misery, but a glue trap is cruel and unusual punishment even if your intentions aren't malicious.
