I have had luck with both peanut butter and cheese.
The real trick is not to leave such a big piece of bait that the mouse can nibble without setting off the trap.
Like the responder who presses it into the spring, I use two pencil point size pieces pressed tightly into the trap release lever.

If they have been there for some time as you say, You more than likely have way more than you realize. I would get ten traps and put them along the wall and bait them with peanut butter.If you have smart ones like I had , then you will have to be tricky and put the peanut butter under the spring to make sure they have to get on the trap and are standing there when it is sprung. I have caught two in one trap like this.Good luck.

Take a piece of bread and cover it in a thin layer of Peanut butter and roll it in birdseed, then cut it up and put a small piece in each trap. I don't think you are cruel. There is something else to think of however...Why do they come in ? Do you have unprotected grain, Cereal,Cat or Dog food, Rice, Bird seed.
All that stuff should be stored in airtight containers of some sort if possible. If not put a whole lot of MOTH FLAKES not moth balls around to confuse the odor of food! Children think moth balls are candy, that is why I said moth flakes!

Smear Peanut butter on it. They have to stay there and lick it off, cheese and other foods they just take and run away. You can mix a rat poison it if you want to be sure but the trap should work with peanutbutter.

peanut butter works. So does a payday candy bar. Try using these new sticky traps found at hardware stores or if you have to you can get them at wal-mart. They step on the sticky trap to get to the bait and cant get off. Wont smell so bad when you get back home.

Put many traps and stickers as many as possible along the wall, under the stove, near the garbage. In 2 weeks. There will be no mice
