Don't go to the expense of nuts. The mice here adore bread, yes, really.
About three years ago the council was digging up the prom and mice were everywhere. A friend of mine who lived opposite me caught 20+, and I caught 9 in a short period of time. I found a slice of bread which I was defrosting with all that was left was the crust. Found out they were coming up from behind the f/freezer. After shuddering I caught 2 or three by baiting with the bread, then closed off their rout.
Eventually no more, the, this year, a cheeky little devil promenaded along my living room floor. This time coming in via my radiator. Managed to catch 3 and, so far, crossed fingers, no more, but I am not putting my traps away yet.
No being very fond of mice, no matter how cute they are, I use plastic traps which are very good and very, very quick. Do not let your finders get in the way!. So far, so good.
