You need my little dog. She is a great mouser.
My experience... I had a pack rat that avoided everything. I put out the bait and it just stuffed it for later. I tried glue traps and it just ripped its fur out to escape. I put snap traps and it chewed its tail off to excape. That bastard destroyed thousands of dollars of my equipment eating wires and air tubing. SO... I took the plastic (silicone insulated wire) it liked and got an electric trap. First night I put it out that sucker got zapped. A few days later another one got in the shop and it too got zapped.

For mice... Snap traps work fine once or twice but if one sees it they all avoid it. Glue traps, as cruel as they are, work well for me and I just dispatch the mice with carbon dioxide from my welding tanks or I will smash it as quickly and humanely as possible. If you have many mice or need to get them in a garden greenhouse or chicken coup the bucket traps are pretty good. They are super easy to make but just in case you aren’t handy here is a link to a few that work well.
