It's a little early but this weekend I decided to plant a few seeds in pots in the garage which has glass doors and doubles as a solarium. I planted several different herbs on Saturday and some Roma tomato seeds on seed tape, plus some Ghost pumpkins which are pure white on the outside but a deep orange on the inside for making pies.
Sunday I checked on the plantings as a matter of course and the seed tape was all torn up and each pumpkin seed had been dug up and eaten by a mouse in the garage. This morning I found the culprit in a mouse trap I set yesterday at the scene of the crime.
Grow little seeds, GROW!

Seems to have been a one off, no further attacks on my seeds and no further mice in the trap.
@SnowyOwl But are they growing?
You're far more efficient at catching mice than I've ever been ,

An old style spring board trap that is baited with peanut butter and placed in a narrow opening that limits escape routes is what seems to be the most effective. Perhaps 1 in 5 gets away but not twice.
Little mousie was hungry, poor baby.
