if you want to grind I would suggest a bucket trap

some have trap doors some a roller with bait put some bird seed in the bottom and they will be fat and happy when you go through and grab them all to shove in the grinder.

Snap trap I use any peanut butter and chocolate Candy but I wrap a little dental floss around the bait so their teeth get stuck.

I have snap traps out with the big pan and glue traps I tried the 5 gal. bucket with a ramp and a wire across with PB but I guess they didn't like that.

melt some choclote and put on trigger then wait till it hardens or use tootsie rolls. it will usually last you a few mice

I posted on it a few years ago. I use the Victor Tin Cat knockoffs sold at Walmart. I just place them along walls and bait them with dry dog food. I caught enough mice, which I sold to reptile people, to but my second from the last truck.

Moles are ugly looking.

Like a few others, I use the Victor snap traps with the yellow pan and peanut butter. If there are a lot of them little buggers I'll fill a pail about 3/4 full of water followed by a layer of oats, sunflower seeds or other small grain. Put up a small ramp for them to climb and let them jump in. Thinking the grain is solid they drown. Cheap and easy to make and also works on other rodents.

I put the snap trap .. perpendicular to the outside wall...and put a bab of peanut buttah and inch above the center of the pan ...on the wall. They have to step on the pan to get a lick.

I've watched them sit and lick the PB off the triggah...with out it firing
