Recently I watched a movie that cemented my thoughts surrounding how to trap multitudes of these vermin into a single area then gassing them with, say vehicle exhausts. The movie related to rats!
If we could supply shipping containers (maybe multiple containers to a farm in need) with a single opening on the top with access to this opening by way of a baited narrow ramp at the base leading to the container’s smallish opening. The mice dropping through the opening with no escape but leading to tasty vermin feed – peanut butter/grain/seed/dairy, etc.
Once the container is loaded – think about the thousands it would trap, maybe more – then run a/the vehicle’s exhaust into the container. Container then loaded and dumped in a purposely graded hole. Later may even be a good fertiliser.
