Yup, laid out bait right up the ladder and on the platform. Bastard ate all the bait on the ladder and left the one on the platform like "ha ha stupid! I'm not falling for that!"

I don't want to hurt or kill mice, but we do catch them for relocation. Very best method I've found is a small brown paper bag with a gob of peanut butter at the closed end -- balance the bag carefully at the counter's edge, mouse's entry will cause it to fall into tall slippery trash can below.
