Betty,
I really think that the best idea on this thread so far, is turn newt into a cat.

We sell a product called Havoc for mice. It is a poison similar to D-con, except they say that it helps to dry the mouse up so it won't smell. Now, I want you to notice how I said that, "they say ..." I haven't found that anywhere on the actual label, but we have customers that swear to it. I keep it out under our house, and I honestly have never smelled a mouse. but I haven't found a dead one either, so I don't know. i guess I'm not much of a salesman, but I'm not going to lie to you either.
