Cheese on a mousetrap?... too much tom and jerry arista

Have a look around see if there's any holes where they might be getting in and block them with brillo pads ( wire wool)
Make sure there is NO food source, not one crumb Keep all your packet foodstuff in glass or sealed plastic containers.

I meant the cheese bit really grump.
If there's nothing for them to eat they won't come in so no need for traps.

Can you not phone a pest control company? or if you live in rented accommodation contact your landlord?

If you've seen one sorry to say you probably have dozens , a cat will drive em out or poison - its horrid but the humane traps (you'll need loads of them) they love peanut butter in them ! they do work but it goes on forever as they breed faster than you can catch em. Find where they are getting in a shoot some that expanding foam in.

Oh yeah forgot about this stuff, don't forget mice can squeeze through a hole the width of a pencil.

Once in you do need to act to get them out, don't ignore and hope they go away, traps are more humane than poison, at least death is instant
