I'm tellin you dun dun, you need to manage the situation.
See where they are coming from and going to.
Get you some dry cereal, don't matter the brand. Put 5 pieces in that cabinet, on the pantry floor, in the corners of the kitchen ,in front of the stove and fridge.
Even take pics of where you put them because 1. If you put out 7 traps you'll forget where you put them, especially if one is completely gone, you'll be like
did I put one in this corner?
Mice will smell things and move things, they might not eat it right then but they'll remember and come back tomorrow or later. So if you put 5 down in a pattern like
and you see its been moved. You know it or they have been there. Especially if you have 2 or more mice. If one spot is being eaten up another will look elsewhere for food.
Another reason for doing an above pattern with no more than 5 pieces of cereal ( I've used Plains cheerios. Honey nut, multi grain, Cap'n crunch, rodents don't care) is because if you put down 5 and see ,3 eaten you know they've been there. If you just haphazardly throw down cereal and they eat some, you don't how much they ate if they ate any.
