Antifreeze instead of water keeps them from rotting for quite a while.


I made one of those traps years ago but put a couple of inches of lime in the bottom instead of water or antifreeze. The lime drys the mice out and turns them into crispy critters before they rot.

I know farmers used to spread quicklime over livestock carcases for that purpose.
