The old wood and wire traps aren't as good as the ones that look like big clothespins, but even though can be defeated by clever mice. We tried everything--cheese, peanut butter, nutella in case they were chocoholics, bits of crackers, apple chunks. Either they ignored the bait or stole it without triggering the trap. We finally had to resort to poison, which neither of us was happy about. Part of our concern was the whiff of dead mouse in certain corners. Not a huge smell, but noticeable, and it didn't last very long. I can now say we are mouse-free, but for how long?
