Objectives/Purposes of Research: Determine the date, species,
sex, and age of mice colonizing homes. Develop more integrated
approaches to pest management and more realistic estimates of
the rate of evolution.
Procedures/Methods to be Used: Over your year as a cooperator, when
you see a mouse or its feces, set 10 baited snaptraps within 1 inch
of objects or walls. As long as you wash thoroughly your hands and
all objects that the mouse has touched, there is little health risk.
Put in the freezer a plastic sack containing the dead mouse and its
date of capture. Renew bait (peanut butter, cheese, bacon) so that
the traps have an attractive odor. Check traps daily until 14 days
after the last mouse was caught, then then send mice to Ann Baker.
Before shipping mice, open body cavity and preserve in rubbing
alcohol for about 1 wk - "drip dry" the carcasses, send in a
"seal a meal" bag.
All data are confidential.
Risk: Failure to wash your hands and objects that mice have touched
may put you at a risk for a human disease carried by mice.
Assurance of Confidentiality: All cooperators will be anonymous.
I agree that the cooperator has the right to terminate participation in
this research project at any time.
