From previous thread on dealing with mice. (With apologies to AnyMouse.)

A couple of winters ago, I had mice get into my basement when I had to open a sealed crawlspace for a cable install.

I ended up trying most of the various mouse traps available at big box hardware stores. Out of curiosity, a sense of experimentation, and the fact that the mice appeared unimpressed with most of the traps.

Some of the traps were really impressive mechanical gizmos. (None of those worked for me.)

Of the 7 mice ‘sampled’…

One, may have died from poison. (Or maybe old age or boredom.) The other six all died from Tomcat Mouse Snap Traps baited with peanut butter. I made sure to place all traps where my cat cannot get to.

After some thought, I would not again place poison traps. (They were not effective, and I am concerned that my cat might get to a poisoned mouse.)

On getting unstuck from glue traps (use vegetable or mineral oil):
