The garage has been carpet bombed with mouse traps.
Is your dog a mouse hunter? Mine is not, she makes friends with them and even shares her food. When I explain the purpose of the JRT breed to her she wags her tail and gives me a head tilt.
My old dog used to chase them and catch them outside but if they ever came in she would watch them and look at us as if to say 'this one is your problem'
Hahaha. Nah. I don't think he's ever seen one. They're mainly in the garage.
I found squished kraft processed cheese with bacon bits to be irresistible to mice. Check the traps everyday. I once caught dozens of the buggers in my neighbour's aviary with this method
Not my jurisdiction. What I can tell you is the traps get washed with soap and loaded up with their own peanut butter. They get checked every day but not by me.
How would you counteract that combo being irresistible to certain humans?
keep the traps away from humans and cats
