If you have pets don't use glue traps.

Or just make sure to put them somewhere pets can't find them. The glue traps really do work well.

Don't use poison. Birds of prey or other predators will eat the dead mouse.... and also die.

I buy the traps in a 6 pack so when I catch one, I throw away the mouse and the trap.

I used to bait and last Spring one found it's way in to my HVAC system "somewhere" and decided to die. It's still there. I don't bait anymore. Snap traps for me plus I leave the hood up when parked. Mothballs and peppermint bags set at the interior filer area in the engine bay.

There are very many clever 5 gal. bucket traps that don't need to be reset after each kill.

One of the simplest is the tipping drawbridge over water. Easy DIY project.
