Mousetraps are awful. I only used them once and had a similar experience. Cats have been more useful for me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, dear. That's no good, flea, I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
I don't mind to sound disturbing, but my rabbits are amazing at killing rats. They're even better than my dog.
We are going to try to stop up the entrance hole with the foamy insulation in a can stuff.
We have a fairly dumb cat.
I used D-Con until one of my victims decided to curl up and die behind my computer monitor. After that I got a little mousie-sized Hav-a-Heart trap.
flea, I'm sorry. That's no fun. Would it make it any better to tell you that we recently had to rescue a possum from my 91-year-old grandmother, who was beating it with a shovel?
No, really.
FTR, the possum was unhurt, if a bit stunned. We got it into a trash barrel and released it in the woods.
Great stuff! It is very much fun to use, but don't get it in your hair. Yes, this warning comes from experience.

That helped a lot at my old apartment.
Stoopid double post. But this is worth saying twice:
Happy Birthday to Raquel and Kathy!
Mousetraps are better than both gluetraps and poison. I have had mousies die in the walls and smell, from poison. We remodeled the kitchen, ripped out the sink and found an old mouse's nest with teeny little baby mouse skeletons in it. I felt so awful. And if you've ever dealt with a mouse stuck to a glue trap...
...it's a horrible,horrible slow way to die, for any creature.
Um, and on a completely different note,
Happy Birthday to Raquel and Kathy!
