Used what Stanely Hawbaker , called the manure set.
A bag of horse manure , piled up so it stood out along the edge of any hay field, or low grass.
It was a sight attractant , plus a smelling post, as fox would pee on it.
Set a couple dirt hole sets close by , 8-10 yards.
Many doubles on that set.
Problem was every hunter or trespasser, could also see it from a distance.

It worked great, just it stood out too much during the fur boom , couldn't keep a catch or traps , they were gone while you were at work or sleeping.
Now that fur is worthless, it's a good set. But there's others that are better.
What you're planning is a mouse hotel , yes it will work .
Just be careful of birds of prey.

Asa Lenon spoke of this on here.
In one sentence, no pics or movies.
The cool kids didn't like it,
dirt holes were the in thing
It works.
