I have found the large metal humane traps work very well. I caught two mice at once in mine last month. Mr and Mrs. Mouse. Of course, you are then left with the task of taking the mice far enough away from the house that they are unlikely to come back, but I felt a lot better about it all than when I used a snap trap, and a billion times better than when I used the glue trap.
Yes, they probably got eaten by a cat or a fox, or died of cold, but the point is that I didn't end their adventure; I didn't write the final chapter.
