I have always relied on the Victor series mouse traps. They are simplistic in its extermination method (albeit a little barbaric) but so dependable! Now what you use for bait is completely up to you. Some recommend profession grade rat attractant but you may go as unprofessional as peanut butter and still get results. Here's where I got my Victor traps:

Too old

If you want to help a creature off the glue-trap, simply rub some oil around the contact area. Baby oil will do just fine. I had set out some sticky-traps and found a young lizard on one of them. I gently picked it up, got out the baby oil, gently massaged the oil around each of its feetsies, got it free, carried it out and set it down in the location where it was and stepped back. It looked up at me as if to say thank you and then scampered off. For mice, get a live trap. you can also scatter baby powder around where you suspect them, to see where they come from and go.
