I'm really not into using the snapping traps or sticky paper. I'm not a PETA person or anything, I just don't kill animals unnecessarily.
I highly recommend the plastic traps with a hinged door that let's the mouse go in but they can't get out. I just take a small cracker with peanut butter and place it in the back of the trap. It has always worked like a charm for me. Once I catch the mouse, I take him to a secluded area away from other houses (usually a wooded area) and let him go. I also have had success with a contraption that you plug into an outlet that is supposed to send off a noise that our human ears can't pick up but drive mice crazy and keep them away. My mouse problems have always been confined to our garage and they always come in during the winter time.
Ever since I purchased the plug in noise emitter, I haven't seen one.

At 9:45 Est Standard time the mouse was killed in a standard snap trap set by my landlord. I collected it in a double plastic shopping bag and placed it outside for garbage pick-up tomorrow. This has been the longets 3 days of my life.
Do you now have the desire to hunt larger animals? Perhaps start hunting gerbils with a blow gun, work up to rats with a BB gun, Deer with a rifle? Dinosaurs with a bazooka!!! Just don't go nuclear. That would be bad for everyone.
Glad your ordeal is over...hopefully.....if they come back you must be ready....why not get some pet white mice and train them to use tiny weapons so if the brown mice come back they can defend your and thier territory against them? They could even build tiny sand bag bunkers and have an air force....think of the possiblities....I myself am training an army of shaved monkeys .....

White Mice vs. Brown mice? Sounds like a racial subtext there.
Not intentionally johnmiic...just I always remember pet store mice being white and most "wild" mice being brown.....maybe I should change it to white mice with brown spots..lol.
If the post did offend anyone I'm sorry I should have chosen my words better.

Thx.....but it was too late ...i'd already ordered my army of shaved monkeys to wipe out all mice in the area ....you know where you are with shaved monkeys

It's never OVER....they will come back in greater numbers to avenge the death of their friend. Now you've given them a vendetta!

Are you shaving them yourself??? How much shaving cream do you need to shave a monkey??? Standard razor or electric??? If you put a monkey in a microwave does the hair just fall off like chemotherapy??? Could you put a bunch of monkies in a tub full of Nair and just hose the hair off with a high powered hose??? Could a normal sized monkey withstand the blast from a professional level power washer??? If not could you create a super-monkey that could??? Would you still need the Nair??? Would a completely shaven monkey still get 5 o'clock shadow?? Would it not happen until 8:30pm??? Is electrolysis an option??? Would it be covered by most major medical plans if you adopted the monkies first??? If the monkies were all professional body builders would the cost be a tax write-off?? Would anyone watch professional monkey body building?? If they're only throwing feces at your enemies does the training really need to be that extensive?? Is throwing accuracy dependent on poop consistency?? Do they only throw their own or are other animal sources acceptable for ammunition?? Could a super-monkey hurl a cowpie?? How about the whole cow?? Can super-monkies fly?? Would they need capes?? Can you get spandex uniforms in monkey sizes?? Why not an army of unshaven monkies??? Unshaven monkey persecution needs to end!! Is it really worth it???
Bo8a_Fett's guide to shaving monkeys
1. Get a good quality cut throat razor.
2. Get a good supply of monkeys.
3. Ensure you have a good quality soap ...not a shaving foam as the monkeys tend to eat it.
4. Good coveralls are essential in the shaving operation as monkeys get scared when they see the razor and throw their own poop at you.
5. Ensure the monkey is well restrained and you get a good lather up with the soap.
6. Liberally coat the monkey all over with the soap lather ignoring the squeals.
7. Sharpen the cut throat but be prepared to duck(See point 4.).
8. Shave quickly and efficiently ...but not too quickly that mistakes are made...hence the good supply of mankeys...I've made many a mistake and had to explain the mess away as a jam and brownie food fight gone wrong...
9. Finish the intricate bits carefully and hand the monkey a towel...monkeys like towels..it gives them a sense of purpose...don't ask me why.
10. Enter the now shaved monkey into a rigorous training program to obey your every whim along with his fellow shaved monkeys.
11. Proudly display you shaved monkey army at the next Villains tea party...they will be envious.
12. Proclaim world domination and laugh manically and evilly whilst your shaved monkey army takes over the world.
