Not much you can do, other than kill them, I guess.
It's the bloodlust I can do without.

Not true. You just have to dump them further away.
Hello?! Is this thing working?!
In all seriousness, this all won't work - releasing them in the next county, trapping them with back breakers, burning them even. The neighbouring mice will see the niche once it's vacant, and exploit it.
They're there for a reason, address the cause, not the effect.

It took the mouse around 20 minutes to fall for it. I walked to the nearest park and dumped him there. Never saw him again, so I guess IT WORKED!~

razorblade in peanut butter. cruel and beautiful
magnifico!
Works on puppy infestations too.
Setting these traps is really tricky. Some of them are just too sensitive to set on the ground.
If I grind up razor blades and put it on some peanut butter, you think it'll work?
I'm willing to try.
Kinda sucks I won't see my handywork though......I want to be certain it works
