I use Victor Tin Cats, about fifteen bucks each. They are a simple trap
that catches the mice live. It has no springs to set. It is about as big
as a cigar box. Available at any hardware store. They work good, just
check and empty them every couple of days. Smear some peanut butter around
in them, and once there's one mouse in there, the others come to join the
party. It has a simple one way door. Easy to clean, never wear out,
nothing to set.
