We had a terrible problem in our deer camp. I got one of the made in USA, "Walk the Plank" mouse traps that you put on a 5 gallon bucket (Ebay), and I soon had our cabin pretty much mouse free after a couple weeks. You can set the sensitivity with a screw for the tiny buggers. If you are going to check it every day, just use water with cheap cooking oil on top of it. The cooking oil suffocates them pretty quick. Make the water too deep for them to hit bottom. I baited it with peanut butter. At our camp, I used RV antifreeze in cold weather. It actually sort of "pickled" them and they didn't stink up the place if you checked it once a week. The best things about these type traps is, they re-set themselves after ever mouse and you can catch a bunch at once.
