I've used this in my garage.... Always with success. There is blood, but no one sees it. Which will be much better for your other half, and ultimately you ~ if she finds a full trap before you do! Also, if your puppy gets close to it, he won't get hurt...
If you use snap traps, get the ones with the yellow plastic cheese trigger, they seem to work better than the metal-trigger ones. Smear a bit of peanut butter on the cheese and stick a couple of pellets to the pb. I like to set three or four together, gives them a real gauntlet to run.
Do you live on a farm with a bunch of wild cats? Otherwise...I'm not sure how you "just realize we have three cats". These things don't just appear out of thin air!

Buy a cheap airsoft gun with enough fps to kill the mice, bait them with the fish food, and camp in the garage. Thats what I did when they were eating my dogs food and shot four of them. They had the nerves to chew through the tupperware. Make sure you move all your cars out first
I like sticky traps, no resetting, just catch & toss.
although once we had an absolutely uncatchable packrat in nevada that'd open loaves of bread & drag pieces out on the kitchen counter. Finally one night I waited up really late and shot it with a pellet gun.
you should put your fishfood in a small tupperware box.
Get ultrasonic rodent repellers in the garage. they do work. get the kind with a knob to change the frequency once in a while so they don't adjust to it.
we have hanta virus in this area, it's unsafe cleaning up after mice. the rare instances they show up now, at least they don't settle in & start building their own condos.
