They will crawl into your heating ducts, and die, 
and stink up your whole house.
I can tell you are a rookie!I live in a rural area and I've tried that and many others that's been posted on youtube but for me, none works as good as the old Victor mouse trap in my shop. I've found the best bait used is a dry raisin.

You are correct about using the VICTOR. 
BUTTTTTTT, you must wire that sucker to something heavy because they will walk off with it. Every one I have is screwed to a large board (normally two traps per board on opposite sides, if they get brave) or the traps are wired off to something near by.

Have to try the raisin trick. Been using peanut butter but that only works for a few days. We won’t use poison anymore because other good animals might eat the dead mouse and get sick. We have a lot of hawks and some Bald Eagles by us. The old style Victor traps should be a fast death if it does it’s job correctly.I live in a rural area and I've tried that and many others that's been posted on youtube but for me, none works as good as the old Victor mouse trap in my shop.

Mary had one of those buckets out. I happened by and there was a hummingbird in it...still alive. Took it out and it flew off after it dried.
Dave your supposed to use a MGD can, not a Budweiser can they are attracted to red.
I should have been more specific. So the Victor traps are the best. Besides wiring the trap off to something. The bate is ALWAYS a peanut SUPER GLUED to the trigger. Half a peanut (let the super glue set for a couple of days) and every 6 months or so you can set a drop of peanut butter on it to freshen it up. The idea is they will lick the peanut butter off but they will jump up and down on the peanut to get it to break loose. SNAP!
I have traps with the same peanut on them 5 years now. Just a dab of fresh peanut butter on the peanut that is glued down and its a killing machine.
I know there's a lot of people out there who have animals and mice, If the trick is to kill the mice and not your best friends. If this little device might help You just have to worry that they don't need the peanut butter 1st.
Our mice have adapted

Shit, where do you live? Rats as big as cats walking off with traps?
The Victor traps with the yellow plastic trip pad are all I use. Smear a tiny bit of peanut butter on them the first use and thats it. Keep catching the little sobs year after year. I think they like the color or the peanut butter smell becomes inbeded in the plastic.
The big rat traps, if they get the rat on the nose or don't kill it instantly will wake the dead as they bang around in the attic. And they f-ing hurt if they trigger on your finger. 
Very tragic, nine confirmed dead ,probably more as time goes on !! They find the killer yet????Schrader just text me and has 9 confirmed kills in his mouse trap like mine. He saw mine and built one.
