I have a few traps, some chocolate as bait, and some mouse killer.

It's not my house, i'm just helping out someone who is scared of mice.
Buy a mouse in a pet shop that is already in a cage.

This makes it much easier to kill.

You can buy these great poison traps where the mouse goes in, eats the poison and wanders off to die somewhere never to be seen again. They look like little black plastic boxes with small entry holes at either end and a block of poison in the box that looks like some kind of lacquered cork. We had a major mouse problem in our last apartment but two of these buggers got rid of every mouse in the house within a week with no messy traps and bodies to clean.

Whatever you do, DON'T use the sticky traps that require you to kill the wailing mouse yourself.

I believe the holy hand grenade of antioch is the way to deal with a rodent so foul, cruel and bad-tempered.

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

The Mouse Trap

I

Palm lacks bacon in the house,
but is troubled by a mouse.

Korf, aroused by Palmstroem's gloom,
builds for him a wire room.

And he puts his buddy in,
next to him a violin.

Night arrives with stars aspark;
Palmstroem fiddles in the dark.

As the artist hits his stride
comes the mouse and steps inside.

Back of it, like mystery,
drops the trapdoor quietly.

Shortly, Palmstroem falls in deep;
undisturbed and quiet sleep.

II

Korf, at daybreak, loads his client's
cleverly conceived appliance

onto what we'd say is an
intermediate moving van,

which a horse's lively trot
carries to a distant spot,

to a lonely forest where
he sets free the precious pair.

First the mouse steps out, and then
Palmstroem leaves the wire pen.

Through the new enviroment
romps the mouse in rapt content;

Palmstroem, homebound with his friend,
relishes the happy end.

-Christian Morgenstern; translation: Max Knight

He lives in Ireland, he could hire James Galway to play the flute - or any guy busking with a tin whistle - or he could even hire my snake, he likes mice! 😀
