Patrick we have a whole section on rodents under vertebrates on MP.net. Personally I find sturdy exterior bait boxes with Vitamin D3 baits work the best with super low to zero chance of secondary poisoning. If you don’t need traps inside I would keep things at bay on the exterior perimeter before they find their way inside.

You don't often get email from pnowa...@crl.edu. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> [CAUTION: This message originated from outside the Foundation. Do not click links, open attachments or take action unless you know the contents are safe] Hello Everyone, I am curious about what some of best rat or mouse traps are recommended for museums or libraries. I don't want to use standard bait traps because the mouse or rat could die later in the walls and their bodies then become feeding grounds for other animals. I like the idea of catching them but being in a part of the world where the most common mice and rats aren't native, it seems wrong to release them outside. But I would like to hear any suggestions that you have. Thank you. I also want to note, that the organization I am at doesn't currently have any rodent problems, the traps we will use are only for preventative measures.
