I rid our house of about 15 mice using a humane trap, they were in the loft. Took them for a ride down to a nearby field, none ever came back as far as I could tell, the humane trap worked very well. Use chocolate as bait - cheese is nowhere near as effective.
You do have to check the trap regularly though!

That's good to hear, I'd much rather go down the humane root if possible.
Whilst staying at a friends house, I picked up my box of weetabix from a cupboard and as I looked inside, a mouse sprung out ran into a hole in the corner of the room.
I have been slightly scared of them ever since
Mice or weetabix?

You should have made him a catnip hat, then released him
What do you think will happen to a house mouse stuck in an unknown location outdoors miles away...
Humane is a good sprung bar mousetrap. I've had one go off literally seconds after placing it behind a box and going to leave the room. Dead as a doormat just like that. Never had one suffering on me.
Whatever you're comfortable doing though.

Presumably the mouse didn't materialise out of house dust and thus must have come from somewhere, at some point in it's ancestry, outside of the house. This suggests then that they are capable of moving outdoors and do not unceromoniously explode when removed from between four solid walls.
Death is not it's only option.

I get the odd mouse in, i had one crawl up my leg when i was sleeping one night, woke up, managed to grab it and throw it out of the window. It was an epic moment for me.
It's valid point. For me though I don't believe I have the right to end some things life because it's inconveniently taken up residence in my house. I did make sure my captives were released near some farm outbuildings and good cover. Their fate is in their own hands (paws?) - I'm giving them a chance, whereas a mouse trap is no chance. Live and let live!
This reminds of charred mouse my partner found when cleaning the back of the oven grill in a flat we used to rent. We had been living there for about 6 months and regularily used the grill....thinking about it makes my stomach turn now 15 years on!
Nope..definitely a mouse
On the flip side my mum heard the spring trap go once, went down to have a look and found a little mouse squirming in the trap, pinned down by it's neck. She released it quick and it legged it, had she not it would have been suffering a fair bit before death.

The last time i found a mouse behind something he had been squashed flat against the wall like a pancake.
