Peppermint Rodent Pouches and Dogs

I rent a small unit in a rural area and my unit recently had many mice get into it. My landlord has set traps, but of course it will take a while for them to be effective. My unit is quite small, only a couple hundred square feet, so mice anywhere inside will be near where I sleep. I would like to use peppermint rodent pouches under my bed to try and keep them away from this portion of my home. However, I’m worried that the smell is noxious and is going to make my dog sick – I’ve opened one and it’s really strong. She’s a 17 pound mix, 8 years old. I’m not sure what else I could do to keep the mice away from us at night? But of course, I don’t want to do anything that will make her ill. Any guidance for the next few days while I wait for the traps to work? How bad is the scent for dogs if it’s truly the only option?

Edit: there’s no way she could get access to the pouches, the bed has storage underneath where the pouch would remain, but the back is open to the wall, which is why I fear mice will get into it.
