How odors affect trapping success with mice and Peromyscus

Stephen M. Vantassel, host of Living the Wild Life, summarizes the findings of two academic articles which show that deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), and house mice (Mus musculus), interact with traps differently based on the odors they encounter. He provides some tips on how to utilize this information to improve your mouse control efforts when using snap traps and other trapping non-toxic methods.
