They sell little have-a-heart traps for mice. I use the Live Catch Mouse Trap. http://www.victorpest.com/live_mouse_traps.htm Put a little tiny bit of cheese or peanut butter (or soup mix, I guess) in the back. When the mouse goes in the door closes. Set it up now, and see if you catch him before you leave. If you do catch him, just carry the trap to someplace far away from where you don't want him to go, open the trap and shake him out.
If you don't catch him before you have to leave, then pick up the trap, and try again when you get back.
I hate killing them - so gory! This way I just move them from where I don't want them to be to someplace where they can be.
I usually catch one the first night I leave the trap out.
