To catch an "active" one use peanut butter as bait. We had mice in Italy and the exterminator on the base said it was all he used. Put out two traps with peanut butter where he was running went into the kitchen to get a soda hear a loud "snap" (Sorry people, it was the only traps we could get in Italy.) and we had caught the critter! Can not guarantee as quick a result, but it has worked for us consistently when the issue has come up.
