Back out into the environment killing most things that move.
One funny story that comes to mind is I stayed with a mate once at his mother's place in a semi-rural town. She was always having a problem with stray cats and had a trap set for them. I asked her what she did with them once she caught them, she said, well I can't shoot them now I'm in town so she had a cover she put over the trap, poshed the trap up against the exhaust of her car, sealed it and turned on the key and gassed the cats.
I has to ask, does it work, she replied "oh yes buy I might have to make a bigger garden out back as I have already buried 27 of them in there. I had a look at thew trap and cover and it was quite a set up.

A friend told me of when his father was a farmer, any cats were welcome in the hay barn but if he caught a tom it was put headfirst into his gumboot and a quick flick of the knife desexed them and shake it out of the gumboot at arms length. Same idea but a bit quicker.

Just another reason why comps like this should be encouraged
