Saw a mouse in my apartment.

We're on the same side. I had a mouse in the 3rd floor of my first apartment building, and had to humanely put it out of its mystery when I finally caught it. ️ I haven't used a glue trap since then...

My understanding is that if I release them outdoors here in the city, they'll go right back into someone's house. If I release them in the middle of nowhere, they'll die. A friend of mine tried keeping a captured mouse in a cage, but although he took good care of it, it always appeared to be terrified and died after a few weeks.
I'm willing to put in effort to protect animals (I've been a vegetarian for 18 years) but I think that catch-and-release mousetraps would just move the ugly part out of my sight rather than avoiding it entirely.

They climb pretty well, because I'm 14 stories up.

I hear ya. I live trapped under my sink and got like one a day for weeks and released outside (rural 100 yds from the house in tall grasses). Thought I’d scored a happy wife no longer asking me to kill the countless mice and didn’t have to kill.
I ended getting kill traps and killed maybe three, because it was the same mice just returning I’m sure via the magic animals do.
I would probably disagree with the idea that actual wild release would be a death sentence. I think mice would be just fine, or at least have a legit chance. But alas such things aren’t really feasible anyway in the city, and there’s health concerns transporting that far, and so on.

If you see a duck without pants you should worry.

Mice can eat more than food. Papers, glue, anything organic. Also make sure any food wrappers are promptly disposed of.
There is never one mouse.

Check out the electric mouse traps. Mouse walks in, there’s a snap sound, mouse is instantly dead. Worked well for me

Cables. Don't forget cables. They sometimes go for the insulation, which could become a fire hazard.

Get 2 medium sized boxes for moving.
Cut one of them up to make a ramp into the other box.
Put peanut butter or almond butt on the ramp and in the box.
Goto bed after drinking said alcohol.
Look in your box the next morning and your new friend will be there smiling at you.
Find them a better forever home.

Fun fact: mice can travel upwards of 2 miles to find their way back to a habitat they've been removed from
