I've had ants eat the mouse bait off the trap and mice eat the ant bait.
I think it's a mouse/ant conspiracy.

The trap could have tripped after you set it due to vibration or a
bump. Then, the mice cleaned it out. Just try again.

False trips are a part of having a hair trigger.

I had a rat problem in a warehouse I one rented and I fiddled with the
big rat traps until the things had a hair trigger. I would often catch
mice with them. Because of the size of the trap, the bar would whack
the mouse on its hindquarters, the lifeless mouse would be found with
a crushed backside and the oddest open mouth expression on its upturned
little face. I can imagine that there was one loud ultrasonic squeak.

AIUI, even with the helmet, they are likely to suffer concussions.
The NCMM has banned trap robbing for mice under 2 years old.

You should keep current. Mr. Gonzales was admitted December 28th, 2013
to the Los Angeles Humane Hospice on Wilshire Blvd. He had originally
been treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center the night of Dec. 25th, when
his friends thought he had just been drinking too much. After a
battery of exams over the next two days. he was diagnosed with
Repetitive Head Injury Syndrome
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/92189-overview and transferred to
the hospice, where Mr. Gonzales was found to also suffer from
Post-concussion Syndrome.
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...n/con-20032705

Doctors give him only two months to live. From the LATimes, Jan 14,
2014: "A long stream of visitors have arrived to pay their respects.
Seen entering the hospiice are both the famous and the non-famous, mice,
cats, and humans 'Speedy is as always a very intesting guy. We had a
great conversation, almost a half hour. I'm going to miss him greatly.'
said Sylvester to this reporter"

Live trapping is stupid. Mouse were NOT brought here by God, even if you believe in that sort of thing. Mice are an invasive species brought to North America on ships from Europe. A released mouse with either A) live outside, where they are very harmful to birds that God did put here, if you believe in that sort of thing, or B) it will get right back into yours or someone else's house where they spread disease and cause anxiety.

My neighbor had a raccoon problem.
Same issue. The thing was smart enough to take the bait
without being trapped.
Put up a surveillance camera to see what he was doing.
Modified the bait setup.
Caught him the next night.

A mouse is smart enough to get a piece of cheese out of a trap.
That's why one should use peanut butter. PB sticks to the trigger and
cannot be easily removed. I also think PB attracts rodents better
than cheese.
