Chocolate is the winner, only the good stuff though.
Mice don't like cheap chocolate lol, nah can take a few days for it to gain
courage to try and get it

OR

get a cat for a long term investment.

Chutney! sweet sticky they love it, find a lumpy bit to stick on the post, presuming you are using little nipper traps, works for me.

My neighbour used to be a gamekeeper and he uses a nut - we have a mouse trap in our utility room with an almond in it. He swears by it but we caught the mouse by hand anyway!

Mice are stupid - I went to get something out the fridge, saw a movement on the floor out the corner of my eye, turned round and stepped back & trod on the mouse - dead!

My housemate got 2 others with a bit of cheddar and a nipper trap..

Cooked bacon or smarties.

NB: DO NOT use blue smarties or your house will be filled with (pathetic) sharks

I used a few different baits up the loft space. Bits of Mars bar seemed to work the best! Caught half a dozen on it.
