Mice and Mopars

I have a 8n tractor I keep in a shelter logic in the woods 15 miles from my home.
I use one of these traps with rv antifreeze in it to drown them.
Last time I checked it there were 9 dead mice in it.
I Just set it near the tractor.
Works good, especially when you cant check it often.
To bait it you just smear peanut butter in the back top of the lid.

I've never seen this, but I understand the logic and operation behind it, and I'll get one (or more) a-coming ASAP!

Thank you, sir! Sincerely!

Update to post #1: I was on my way to the restroom about 4:00 AM this morning and heard a snap sound. A cheap-*** mouse trap with peanut butter had been tripped (can't find the Victor traps here in Mexico any longer-nobody takes into consideration what the consumer wants any longer).

I inspected the trap to find it empty. However, laying next to the trap was a mouse twitching. I got a broom stick and finished him/her off. This is the third time these new flimsy mousetraps I purchased this week were not strong enough to retain the rodent. Just lucky this time I was close enough to take care of things personally.

Is this in a building?

It's a garage without doors, more like what is known as a carport I suppose.

Update: Two more of the small cheap/ineffective traps with peanut butter were tripped last night and both varmints got away.
 
I did not mention previously that i do have a couple of the much larger original Victor "rat" traps. I keep them both set 24 hours a day (without bait). I was missing one of them this morning and found it in a pile of leaves where it fell off the ledge after trapping a mouse. That makes 3 kills this week so far.
