vacuums work
Cornered one in the kitchen during a remodel and the only thing close at hand was a shop vac. He didn't survive the ordeal. I could hear him being sucked down the hose. The wife was not happy with my quick thinking.

For Mickey, it was one wild ride.

It's Mus Musculus--just to be scientific. Hate the little varmints!

The deer mice I deal with are as cute as a bug's ear.
It's a shame though, their tragic deaths in my traps. But it seems that there are always more of them.

I had a large mouse infestation in my first bus. I bought a dozen mint plants and put them all over the place inside the bus. I never heard or saw another mouse after the first few days, plus a had pretty plants and a nice smell!

In my trailer I use cotton balls soaked in vinegar and peppermint oil. The oil messes with their olafactory senses. Put them in all the cabinets etc...

I hates mieces to pieces
I have had great success with dryer sheets placed EVERYWHERE when we are not occupying our place, which is 11 months of the year. There is a definitive lack of scat not 100% but the place smells a lot better when we return too.
The best year was when we had a lynx living out behind the place, NO MICE! Alas the lynx moved on the next year, so a motivated domestic version is probably better.

Sweet n Low
Try some Sweet n Low. Put it out in something like babyfood jar lids. Aspartame is a neurotoxin and rodents cannot handle it. This is what my exterminator told me to use.

We'll see.
Any other recommendations, besides finding a cat?

Many panty hose with moth balls in it placed throughout. Works every time

The dude with the bowl of oil, I was not expecting him to keep the mice as pets when he was done.

I took the passenger seat out of my Nissan 4×4 King Cab pickup and put in a bean-bag; I am just short enough to sleep there. The carpet is 2-piece; one front, one back.
I lifted the overlay once to find a mama mouse with a new-born (hairless, eyes closed) litter in the corner. I am just too soft....I covered them back up. But I made sure she knew I was watching her, and gave her a good close stare 2 times a day for the next 2-3 days. As soon as her babies were mature enough, she took them all out. Never saw her again...
We never see mice here at my mom's house in GA. I think I remember that the mouse jumped in whilst I was in the parked woods....
But when I start finding droppings in my bus, peanut oil looks great. I use a dribble of honey in a deep jar to catch the roaches in my vehicles. They die in their own waste by morning....
