Do they die quickly when the big rat traps spring?

I'm not talking the little mouse traps - but the larger classic Victor
rat traps.

If the work as designed they kill pretty quickly by breaking their
neck.

But I cannot imagine hating to kill a rat. They are disease-
spreading, they will bite and they will destroy wiring and other parts
of your house or vehicles. If the trap doesn't do the job a hammer of
firmly planted heel with take care of it.

And I agree with the comment about glue traps. They basically
facilitate starvation or exposure to predators.
