A cool link. Two mice down; indeterminate number to go.A bit of UpState history with “Victor" traps:
"Metal animal traps made by Oneida were the world’s best for over 70 years. Under the brand names of Newhouse and Victor, about 120 million game traps were manufactured in Sherrill, New York. They paid for a utopia, a silverware industry and a city."
Oneida Traps: From Religious Commune to Biggest Trap Company in World
In the mid-1800s, a 250-person "family" began making traps, eventually becoming the biggest trap company in the world, only to ditch trap making altogether.www.trappermag.com

I'm an expert mouse trapper. So far this year I'm 4-5, good start to the year.
Personally I like the Tom Cat brand of traps. Those and peanut butter your good to go!

@Campgottagopee what was really impressive: I ask about mouse tips at the Ray Brook Tractor Supply, and the guy really knew his stuff.

Did he tell you to place the trap along a wall? That's key.

Neither were against a wall. One on the counter top where they've been active; the other in the cupboard under the sink. Success!
Yup. Five for five with cheese.
The snapper nailed my finger once but I ain’t countin that. No harm. no foul.
Somebody from Bville wrote a NY Times story about the place and some of her old relatives who lived there.
The Utopia of Sharing in Oneida, N.Y. (Published 2007)
At the Oneida Community and in its Mansion House, everything belonged to everyone: profits, possessions, bodies.

This would be like delivery service for my cat!
I have used the humane traps and the snap traps. Now, I just let my cat do the work. He has also caught a couple of snakes that came up through the foundation.

I've found this to be the best trap. They fall in it flips back up. You can get a bunch before you have to reload in the peanut butter
