That would depend on the type of glue trap, the species trapped and what ensues after being trapped.
Glue traps do not kill the animals that are trapped on there. All they do is trap live animals with adhesive materials. Their "humaneness" or "cruelness" depends on their usage.
Mammals/Reptiles/Birds
Undoubtedly, using a glue trap on a mammal/reptile/bird (such as a rat, gecko or snake) and leaving them to starve is a form of animal cruelty. Like humans, other mammals have nociceptors (pain receptors), a limbic system and a neocortex, the parts of the brain that account for conscious emotions and experiences such as suffering. Birds and and arguably reptiles possess a homolog to it, meaning that sentience in these animals is likely. When trapped, the trapped animal will likely experience at least some distress from not being able to move away. If the trap is disposed without killing the animal or left unchecked for too long, the trapped animal will starve to death. This will cause the animal unjustifiably extreme distress and suffering for unusual periods of time. They will likely also injure themselves trying to struggle free from the traps. It would be like if someone glued your hands and legs to the floor and then just waited until you starved to death. Some glue trap manufacturers apply eugenol to their traps, under the assumption that it acts as a sedative, though there are reports that it may cause discomfort if not injected directly into the bloodstream. If one must use a glue trap, it is possible to kill the trapped animal humanely (for example, by smacking them on the head with a mallet with great force to kill them instantly) or to free them using vegetable oil. Regardless, it is certainly not the most humane option to use on vertebrates.
The American and Canadian governments advise against their use (albeit not for animal welfare reasons), as trapped animals may urinate/defecate and/or bleed if injured trying to escape, which could expose users to disease-causing agents. Ireland and New Zealand have banned the use of glue traps for rodents.
Insects
Using glue traps on insects is not thought of to be cruel, as they are not thought of to be able to feel pain. The insect nervous system greatly differs from those of vertebrates in that they do not have a cerebral cortex (or any homolog), a limbic system or nociceptors (with the exception of Drosophila melanogaster). Insect behaviour is largely a result of hardwired reflexes, with limited learning. While an insect may struggle or exhibit escape responses, this is considered a reflex. Insects do not react to bodily injury, for example, if their leg is crushed, they will not limp and instead continue applying it to the ground with undiminished force, and a locust will continue feeding as it is being devoured. Given these criteria, the overall consensus is that insects do not suffer. The New Zealand government's prohibition on glue traps does not apply to insect glue traps, and their use for insects remain uncontroversial.

Are there mouse traps that are safe to use around young children?
Typical traps like spring traps, glue traps, and poison are dangerous around children and pets, but most stores also offer human traps, in which you can bait the mouse, it is flipped into a container from which it cannot escape, and you are free to exterminate it yourself in a humane fashion, or release it into the wild.
What is mouse trapping?
Mouse trapping refers to the act of setting up traps to catch and eliminate mice that are invading a home or premises.

It is important to properly set up and maintain traps to effectively control mouse infestations.
What animals are in glue?
No animals are in glue.
Methods of trapping insects?
Some common methods for trapping insects include using sticky traps, light traps, bait traps, pheromone traps, and vacuum suction traps. Sticky traps use adhesive surfaces to trap insects, while light traps use ultraviolet light to attract insects. Bait traps use attractive lures to lure insects in, and pheromone traps use insect hormones to attract specific insect species. Vacuum suction traps physically suck insects into a containment chamber.
Where can someone purchase bird traps?
Bird traps are a highly specialized product that can be bought at several online retailers. For example Moudry Traps or Animal-Traps sell these. There are also a lot of instructions available on the internet on how to make your own traps.
Do glue traps catch water bug?
Yes, glue traps will catch water bugs in the house.
How can I effectively prevent mice from getting caught in glue traps?
To prevent mice from getting caught in glue traps, you can place the traps in areas where mice are likely to travel but out of reach of pets and children. You can also use baited snap traps or electronic traps as alternatives to glue traps. Regularly check and remove any trapped mice to prevent suffering.
What is the slowest way to kill a mouse?
Perhaps glue traps They are stuck there and starve and struggle, the fumes to them suffocate them... But if you want to make an animal suffer, that's cruel. Yo should use zappers of snap traps, killing mice quickly without pain.
In integrated pest management traps and glue boards are used primarily to?
Pest management traps and glue boards are used primarily to catch and kill mice.
What types of mousetraps are there?
There are many types of mousetraps, some more humane than others. There are spring-loaded traps, glue strip traps, live-catch traps, bucket traps and electric traps.
What else can you do when mouse traps don't work?
Have you tried the glue traps? They are a thin cardboard that you can just throw away
How can mice effectively avoid glue traps?
Mice can effectively avoid glue traps by being cautious and alert, avoiding areas where traps are placed, and using their keen sense of smell to detect and avoid traps. Additionally, mice can navigate their environment carefully to avoid getting stuck on the sticky surface of the trap.
How do mice know to avoid glue traps?
Mice may avoid glue traps due to their keen sense of smell and ability to detect potential danger. They may also learn to associate the traps with negative experiences, such as getting stuck or being unable to escape.
Where does a trapper usually operate?
A trapper is one who hunts and traps animals. The trappers will operate a number of different types of traps depending on what is being trapped. There are various traps that can be used such as body gripping traps, foothold traps, snares, cages and glue traps.
Could a dog die if they ear roach glue traps?
no idea and what a dumb question
What are some effective pet-safe mice traps that I can use in my home?
Some effective pet-safe mice traps that you can use in your home include electronic traps, catch-and-release traps, and glue traps placed out of reach of pets. These traps are designed to capture mice without harming them or posing a risk to your pets.
Is a mousetrap a spring?
A traditional mousetrap uses a spring to propel a metal bar in a 180 degree arc which ends on the pesky animal's neck, breaking it and (hopefully) severing the spinal chord resulting in a relatively quick death. Live traps use springs (in good traps) or gravity (in mediocre, unreliable traps) to close a cage door trapping the mouse for later release. The glue traps are exactly that--glue on a board/piece of paper. The animal is then stuck to the glue (panicking and trying to get free) until you notice, kill, and dispose of it or it dehydrates/starves to death...no spring.
