I need one too, our winter mouse is back. It's damn clever and manages to steal the food in the trap without setting it off. It also seems to be immune to rat poison.

Cats are 100% effective but it's not a nice way to go for a mouse...
Best trapping method is to create a tunnel or corridor with two traps in the middle, facing each other with no space around the sides, so that in order to get to the food, the mouse has to pass over at least one trap.
Usually both traps go off and you get a trap-mouse-trap chain... Sounds a bit like something out of Saw IV but it's quick and works.
Placement is key, go for the edge of the room as close to the skirting board as possible.
+1 for peanut butter/nutella combo.

We just moved into a new place with a mouse problem. The other day one of the neighbourhood cats was meowing at out door. I opened it to say hello and he ran straight past me and plonked himself by the gaps in our skirting boards tail wiggling in anticipation. He hasn't managed to get one yet but I like his enthusiasm.
