If it works correctly, it should kill the trapped mouse with a broken neck, loading bait other than on the spike may result in a mis-hit.
How about those pest eliminators on the TV shopping channels - that are supposed to drive them out?

I've just done a Google for the "Little Nipper trap". Sounds interesting. Might try one if the current traps don't work too well.

We've thought about getting the council's Environmental Health people in. Does sound like a good idea. Certainly worth £50, if ours charge similar to yours, especially when split between the 4 of us.
The wee, oh yes....filthy beasts like to mark their territory, I guess
