I live in the country... tons of field mice around my house. I tried every humane way I could find and it didn't help. They kept coming back and I couldn't break the cycle. I tried to be all nice. I really did. I swear.

We have used a trap called the Trip Trap for many years, but occasionally the mice seem to be smarter than the average mouse and are able to eat the bait without tripping the trap, so we now mostly use the old lil'snapper which is 95% effective. We have found chocolate and also peanut butter to be a very good bait.

A couple of years back we had several weeks of setting the trip trap every night and finding a mouse in it nearly every morning, one morning we found TWO mice, presumably having a party! The amazing thing is the mice were released a couple of miles from the house in the middle of no-where.
