I live in the boonies and used to get them continously.I used to use peanut butter on a spring loaded trap, which worked, but was messy.I found a trap a Home Depot called "A better mousetrap" that actually is .It resembles a potato chip bag clip and operates by means of a long coil spring that wraps around it. The peanut butter goes on a lever visible in the open position.When the trap is sprung the clip closes on the mouse and the tension in the spring tightens on the vermin every time it breathes. The best part is you don't have to touch the little bastards to throw them away, just squeeze the clip. Regular spring traps can create a bloody mess to clean & will break after 6 or so attempts. Mice will chew their own legs off to escape a glue trap.
