I use bucket traps they work very well. I keep one in the compressor room attached to the garage. Just pulled 3 mice out of there the other day. They found a new entry point where the one garage door is it is a slider and doesn't seal great. I put wire mesh on the door bottom and put 2 bucket traps in there.
I use them all year long and add antifreeze in the winter so it doesn't freeze. I buy them from here. Small business family owned and made in USA.............Lots of people have stolen their ideas and tons of Chinese copies.
