You might be able to look up a good natural, homemade mouse "repellent". I know they don't like garlic...

I was just going to make the same suggestion as Katerina.

I had a mouse problem last year in my old rented apartment too.

1. I cleaned everything! All food was in airtight containers so that prevent them from smelling the food.

2. I cleaned and tidied the entire apartment to make sure they weren't hiding under furniture at the moment.

3. I blocked off all suspected mouse holes, cracks in moldings, etc etc. You can use steel wool for the space around plumbing.

4. I wiped peppermint oil across doorways and other entrances that I thought the mice could possibly be using. and Lastly I applied peppermint oil all over the kitchen. The peppermint confuses the mice's senses.

I never had a problem after that.

I hope that helps!
