prevent your dogs or other scavengers from eating the dead or dying mice? I would be concerned about that. Rodents do not seem to be the least bit intimidated by our dogs. Their survival strategy is to have lots of offspring and early and repeated reproductive cycles, and they are extremely successful. Live traps work well, but they need to be checked every day. We release the mice at least a mile away. We have deer mice, Peromyscus bolleyi...and they are very cute in their natural habitat, but not so much in our cutlery drawer. You might be able to tell we are biologists.
