I have also had that problem! they do like the hot ones as well, not sure if the heat affects them ( like no sweat glands) or maybe there just mouse chili heads.
I know they can devastate a plant in no time at all! I left on plant on the garden shelf for nest years seed, went out in the spring and it looked like judgment day, every pepper was eaten, but they wouldn't eat the seeds. and those where Fatalii, Good luck with the traps.
one thing that I found is that mice have a very sensitive smell and do not like moth balls, I threw a few of those at the bottom of every plant, the munching stopped! just a thought
