No mousetraps, or sticky pads where the feet become stuck to the adhesive.
Any ideas? I just wanna catch him and take him out in the woods. I don't want to directly contribute to his death.

Hire that centipede from the video that was posted last night.... Though I can't guarantee the mouse will live.

Dude, just get some mouse poison and get it over with. It's a mouse, there are millions more where he came from.

It's a mouse.

It's on essentially the same level as a cockroach, except it's cuter.

Kill it & be done with it.

Pot & lid ... be prepared to be in it for the long haul though, you just have to be patient ;)

I thought about creating something, much like that of a crab trap, where the entrance hole is bigger on the outside than it is on the inside, and once inside the mouse will find himself stuck. Put some food inside, and wallah it might possibly work.

Do a search for humane traps, there are plenty of them out there. With 10 cats in our house the mice tend to restrict themselves to the garage when they dare enter. ;)

if there is one then most likely you have a family. i know it's weird to kill stuff, but do you really want to share living quarters with something so dirty. :( you know what must be done.

That won't work... Mice can get through the smallest hole, you'd be surprised...

It's nice to see someone lift their knuckles off the ground and choose a more humane solution rather than resorting to what's easy just because you can.

I don't have a mouse problem, but if I find any pests in the house I just relocate them.

Um, wild mice are vermin. Disease carriers. They must be exterminated.
