Snap traps are more efficient if dangled on end of string 2-3 inches off
ground so the loaded end is up and it snaps down. Mice can't move as quick
when on 2 hind legs.

Got a crack in garage that my wife is convinced lets in dozens of mice

steel wool in the crack, then expanding foam is the best solution.

Good idea?

Not at all. They'll chew the foam to bits in a matter of minutes, and
shred
the steel wool overnight. Use mortar.

And mousetraps. I prefer a standard spring trap, baited with a single
raisin
firmly squashed onto the bait bar. No way a mouse can get it off without
springing the trap.
