Default Mouse traps

I'm not having much success luring poor innocent mice into my cruel old-

bacon for bail with slight success, peanut butter with none. I've tried a
newer trap that lets them in but not out. Worked once over many years.

Other traps? Bait you've used with success? Cats?(Mine died a few years ago
and I've never replaced her - I'm too old. it would long outlive me.)

TIA



I like the conventional snap traps that have a higher surface tripper
that looks like a piece of cheese. They have a hair trigger and catch
more mice than the old ones. Just smear with peanut butter.
