I will read all of this later but first tip for the mice, peanut butter and a piece of dog food on the trap works great. We caught 12 mice in under 4 hrs last fall doing this.

If you don't mind them dieing on you (and you can keep kids/dog away) Boric acid (aka Borax) mixed in with that peanut butter will generally take care of things as well

Someone posted a bucket and pop can trap for them that looked like it would work great, can't remember who though
