Potthole, I lived in a cabin at a state park I worked at for a few months. so did a mouse. I was trying to be all nice and bought the clear plastic "live traps", I had it set up for a week and a half and caught nothing. my husband (who was going to kill the mouse after it was caught anyway, finally had his first encounter with the mouse and said "damnit! i'm getting a real trap". He went to the store, bought the old fashioned snap traps, set it up with a little peanut butter, not even 30 minutes later we heard it snap, and caught the mouse. Your can try your live trap too, but I highly suggest just buying the other kind.
