A wise young man once told me to use a bucket with some water in it.
A small can (coffee can) with a solid wire running through the center and attach the ends of the wires to the bucket edges.
Place peanut butter on the can in a few locations.
And while you are sound asleep in your nice comfy Montana the mice will attempt to eat the nice fresh peanut butter while standing on the edge of the bucket, extending there front paws to the can to access the most delightful treat.
Once the weight of there body is placed evenly on there front paws the can will spin causing the small creature to fall into the bath water at the bottom of the bucket.
Thanks to Robbie Simons for this great tip.

You are welcome, glad it worked for you. A lady at a Wyoming state park taught us that trick. While camping on the North Umpqua River in Oregon, we caught 37 mice using this method in 14 days. We also caught 5 one day while at Arches NP.
