I tried the Victor (ahem) humane traps and find they didn't work well. The door kept closing at odd times or didn't close at all. I like the simple clear plastic ones with the flap door. Very low-tech but effective.

bring a card-board paper and then put some mouse glue on it with a piece of cheese and wait untill the mouse sticks on it after u see it stick on the sheet get an old shoe and smack it a couple of times in the head we alwayz used to do that in my house back in my country ( well its a third world way but its pretty cool actually )

Yeah, much better like that... I didn't understand why you would smack it in the head...

Hire a gray tuxedo tom cat, preferably a bumbling one, get a bag of chips, light something up and sit back to enjoy the show.
Not Humane
See previous link I posted from Victor Website

The one in your Home Depot Link is on the Victor Snap Trap Page:

Just easier to set and empty than the traditional metal pedal trap
You might also want to consider ----- I seriously doubt that there has EVER been a case where there was just "A" Mouse. You just haven't met the rest
of the family yet ----- but they ARE there somewhere.

We get an annual infestation of desert mice at the Big Chunk of Dirt in Nebada every Sept/Oct. The only cure has been to put out Warfarin bait (they eat enough of it, their blood pressure drops to zero and they die). I worried about other animals eating the mice, but according to the directions they metabolize enough Warfarin that any animal unlucky to eat a dead mouse will not be harmed (much?). We also have resorted to using the very effective (and somewhat inhumane) standard mouse traps. They always catch something. But sometimes that something is crippled and in pain until you find their mauled carcass in the trap and set them loose down the toilet. Yeah, they're just mice, but they still feel pain. So much for ranch hand karma.
Try the Warfarin-laced bait food. It's the least painful. Then you have to spook around to find where the smell of the dead mice is coming from.

There's an episode of The Itchy and Scratchy Show in which Scratchy (the cat) finally gets Itchy (the mouse), but we don't get to see the crucial moment because someone unplugs the television on which Bart and Lisa are watching it. We see the setup, though, and it seems to be done with loads of dynamite and some bombs and missiles.
That was 11 hours ago.
What have you done?
Did you get one of those little humane plastic traps
or have we not heard because your computer was damaged when you dynamited your house?

Me too. I called him Rodriguez. Once he got used to me, (and me to hoovering his shit from behind the sofa), we used to watch the X Factor together.
But then the rat came.

Wow. I'm very heartened that you guys are waking up to the fact that even little creatures like mice (and cats and rabbits and pandas) experience pain.
I hope you all enjoy your Christmas Ham and Turkey.

Isn't there a less violent way?
mice are tricky and smart as animals so some smacks on the head are useful in case its scared from you and wants to escape the card-board with glue
Of course. That's why I recommend using well-aimed bombs and rockets against them.
Or at least dropping an anvil on them from a great height.

Calboner watches too many cartoons.
The weights *HAVE* to be 16 tons. No more, no less. Otherwise, it causes severe, unrecoverable depression.
The bombs, rockets, tanks, jets, and other objects can only be gotten from ACME.
Cartoon mallets will solve the problems or destroy everything. One or the other, you can't have both.
Anvils are funny.
Spring loaded moustraps must always attack the person setting them either immediately, or later when it's funny.
