I have a bucket type trap, but the mice seem to have figured it out. I now use electric traps made by Owltra. They run on 4 AA batteries, and I use cheese rind or cooked bacon for bait, as it’s less messy than peanut butter. A light flashes when a mouse is caught. No mashed bloody corpse. Not sure if the mouse suffers. Wish I could say I care. The traps are expensive (about $20), but I assume last forever. They are no hazard to pets (unless you keep rodents).
