Having tried three kinds of trap and two kinds of poison, my best results were produced by half-filling a mop bucket with water and putting it on the floor at the end of the counter top that I thought the mice were running along. Scamper scamper scamper leap splosh squeak gulp gulp.
They can't swim and don't take long to drown, but be sure you fill it deep enough that they can't stand on the bottom otherwise it's a slow and probably painful (also very squeaky) death
As for the traps, one bait seemed pretty much as good as any other - we mostly tried peanut butter and chocolate and bits of chinese takeaway, but found just as many mice in unbaited traps who seemed to have run straight into them by not paying attention to where they were going.
They seemed pretty uninterested in the poison - levels in the bait tray didn't noticeably diminish in the time we left them out
The electric trap caught one mouse only. Probably wouldn't bother with that again.
