Mice fill a very important niche and I think this mousetrap idea of yours
is very short-sighted.
If you are having trouble cohabiting with north american omniverous mice
you may wish to consider some excellent marsupial mice we have here in
Australia. For example, Antechinus stuartii. It perform a very useful
insectory role around the house, eats no human food and only shits in one
spot. Males die off after a single, annual mating season due to cortisone
overload so populations stay in check.
That's all for now - have to get back to my mango wine bottling.
