I have found the glue traps from the grocery store work the best for both mice and rats. With peanut butter, but it does get stale after a couple of days. However, if you haven't caught the little ba$tards within a couple of days, you need to move the trap. Oftentimes, I have caught two on the same trap. They will not steal the bait like they can with the snap traps. There is no getting off. I even had one mouse disembowel him/herself trying to get off. (Gross!!!) Never tried raisins, but that's what wew use for ground squirrels and gophers, I imagine mice would like them also.
