Hmmmzz... NOT if you got a feline hunter like our cat, who just finds said rodent, plays with it until just enough entrails are smeared over the floor and walls to make for a nice rub-down of your place, but still leaving said rodent alive enough to squeak the whole night long, crawling into/under a place where you can NEVER retrieve it, where it will eventually die an agonizing death.
While feline sits by and watches you with interest while you crawl under cupboards and mop the floor.

You could try glue traps - they're horrible nasty things, with a sticky toxic surface that Mr. Mouse gets stuck to and can't get off. Meanwhile the toxins work their way through his system, it takes about 4 days to die. Of course, if you find him then you can beat him to death with a half-brick, if you have the stomach for it. Personally I loathe the things, but they have a better track record than bog standard moose-traps.
Have to concur with the others, though - a cat is the way forwards. Do you have a friend with a farm, maybe? Perhaps he can lend you a mouser.

Hmm. Some friends of mine likened me to their cat, Josie, who's rather aloof and skittish around strangers, takes awhile to warm up to people, and won't be treated roughly or told what to do.
So: alien, or cat? Hmm.
Or perhaps BASTARD, then, eh, James?
Actually, I wouldn't take offense - they're all variously applicable.

Humane traps are good BUT REMEMBER TO CHECK THEM regularly, I didn't once, for a week.............
I think I'd rather have my back broken (and die instantaneously) than starve to death.
They are a bit crafty and a very swish in the running department:We have mice, they have suddenly appeared.

That's not the rollercoaster start to the day you need, tha't before you brave the 95 bus and work.
That's why I recommend humane traps baited with chocolate. Atleast they 've got something nice to eat whilst they are waiting to be liberated!

Yes they are , but not at 7.00am when you open the bread bin and they leap out at you like a......... crazed furry thing, then whilst you recover from an unwanted dose of adrenalin, you suddenly realise your crumpets have been violated and devoured.But...but...mice are cute.
