mice can be so so stressful, I’m so sorry and hoping you can catch them early!
I’m linking the electric traps we used for my old apartment. keeps them out of sight and relatively humane in that they are quick and effective. I hated glue traps for that reason, and because the glue can dry out and be less sticky than effective— very gross. We used peanut butter as bait.
I’m sure you already know about keeping all food in sealed plastic containers or the fridge or freezer. we‘d wash down the floor with peppermint oil because we read it irritates their feet, not sure if that’s a real deterrent. We also tried to wedge steel wool in the small spaces they can squeeze through.
I’ve also heard even the smell of cats can be helpful in scaring them away so if you have a friend with a cat that you don’t mind having come chill for a while, maybe that could help?
Ultimately we ended up calling an exterminator which helped seal up the house while the traps took care of the rest.
truly sending lots of good vibes your way for this to clear up quickly!!

I had one growing up and she was a killing machine.
Or maybe a cat.
Also regular mouse traps close to the wall. Bait it with peanut butter. I read mouseses use their whiskers against the wall as a guide bc they have poor vision.

Since you don’t provide in this household, can you at least get rid of the uninvited guest in the bathroom?
(he won’t)

Put on the robe, turn on adult swim or whatever, crank the ac, eat a late night snack in one bed and sleep in the other. The freedom of impersonal liminal space.
