I'm going to disagree. The glue traps worked best for me in a house with an infant and two dogs. We were concerned that dogs would find a trap, or the babes would eat the poison. We set the glue traps along the path of infiltration and killed quite a few. I dont' recall how many we got that way, but I do recall get 5, three of which were on the same trap in the garage/work shop, while speaking to my mother about the mouse troubles we were having.
Only bad thing is the smallest beagle apparently got a trap with a mouse on it. Ate the mouse and got the trap stuck to his muzzle, shoulder, opposite shoulder pit, and both front paws. He got it on all over the heavy purple blanket I'd just bought the wife, and chewed holes through it to get himself unstuck.
The sight of him with patched of purple cloth attached to his chin, paws, and legs, was boggling until we wonder why it was stuck to him....
Anyway, if you are tender hearted type you can pour oil over mr stuck mouse and let him go behind the neighbors house. I just pitched them trap and all into the garbage out in the garage. Wife let a couple go until she started wondering why the next few mice she caught all smelled like french fries...
You could however use a zombie ferret...
