Here's my trick to catching mice. It's a little involved, but works really well. Take a piece of elbow macaroni and feed a piece of dental floss through it. Using a toothpick, fill the inside of the macaroni with peanut butter. Tie the macaroni to the bale of a standard wooden mouse trap with the dental floss. Set the trap. The mouse will smell the peanut butter and try to pull the macaroni off the trap, which doesn't end well for the mouse. If you've ever had problems with mice licking the trap clean and not snapping it, give this a try.
That is a really good idea. So far no mice in the traps and they have not moved. I think they are all frozen. Found 6 and the were rock solid due to the severe cold snap we have been having. They also had a stash of corn from the field. Just need to clean up the droppings once it warms up a bit and then leave the traps set until we use it again.
