maybe you'll have success with it too.

Mice love containers, anything they can crawl into.

the last time i had a little visiter i put some bread and broken pieces of acorn into an empty coffee can and placed it on the floor in the pantry.
the mouse arrived three days later (i heard the noise the acorn was making in the can) i grabbed a cereal box (it was empty and broken down waiting to be recycled) placed it atop the can, and carried the little thing outside.

for the future, you might want to put some mint (preferably peppermint) plant or oil in your kitchen or wherever the mouse resides. mice have an aversion to mint. :shrug:

hope this helps.
Good Luck !!!
