I mean you can dissolve the glue pretty easily with vegetable oil. The problem is that the bat will be trying to pull itself out of the trap the whole time it’s stuck before you can free it and will injure itself in the process because they are very fragile. It even says in the post that they need time to heal afterwards.
I’ve freed mice, lizards, a few other things, even a baby rattlesnake this way. Never my own traps. But, yeah… a lot of times the vegetable oil thing just isn’t an option. And, it seems much more difficult and traumatic for the animal. They freak out being handled by humans, as they should, honestly.
