My wife had a bird feeder in the back garden (yard) so obviously we had mice in the undergrowth.
My wife also loves eating grapes. (makes a change from the bottles of wine!)
She would put the grape stalks in the bin under the kitchen sink - Ta da - we got mice in the house.
My first attempt was to buy some "kind" mouse traps, but I got tired of driving them a lime away to release them.
So I bought some of these :

I hate killing things - I get upset if I chop a worm in half when I'm digging.
I also got some peanut butter and a bar of chocolate (two horrible things not normally found in my house) to prime the things.
We caught 2, 4, 8, 16. 8. 4. 2, 0. At least they die very quickly - wouldn't consider poison.
We found the aeration hole that they weer coming through, stuffed it with wire wool.
No more mouses. Total cost, app. £20. Plus we now have Rupert, (he's longer than a size "0" guitar) -scares me! So them mouses are unlikely to choose us for grape stalks again.
This is Rupert :
