"We recommend only using sticky traps that contain a pesticide in the glue, as this will prevent a trapped insect from suffering for too long needlessly."
Seriously?
Poisons shut down bio functions and cause death. DE looks like shards of glass under a microscope. On insects like fleas, cockroaches, and silverfish, DE works to puncture the body which then dehydrates the insect and the bug dies, eventually. None of this is likely painless for beings that actually feel pain. We only have to worry about being humane to animals that feel pain. Insects do not feel pain. Besides, insects are bugs. Step on them!
