Now that this has been brought back up again....I solved my problem with mice. This Fall I was cleaning the gutters and picking up the debris from the gutters off my deck. While doing so I noticed a few little splinters of wood on the deck directly underneath where my electrical service enters my house through a steel elbow. I looked up under there and there was a hole. I got oout the caulk and another piece of siding and filled the hole with almost half a tube of the caulk. Hammered in a new piece of siding cut to fit closer to the service wire. I have not had mice since.
On a side note...Never did find that mouse trap.
