We had mice last December. We tried those old-school wooden mousetraps, and they did nothing. We tried the humane option also, and that didn't work. What finally worked were the plastic spring loaded traps, mentioned above, I think.
Our asshole landlord, who lived upstairs, came down and put glue traps in our apartment - after we told his wife we didn't want them because they tortured mice. We found a mouse trying to stay alive after being trapped on one of them. Quadrette read on the back of the packaging that vegetable oil would loosen the glue, so she tried pouring some of that on the trap...and then she accidentally drowned the mouse in oil. (now, this was of course, very sad, but I had to hold back my sick laughter because it was kinda funny too).
I HATE mice. hate, hate HATE them - but they don't deserve to suffer. Just kill 'em quick.
