Traditional-wise : Get a cat.
High tech-wise : There are some gadgets which will emit a very high frequency sound not heard by human beings. Supposedly that will drive away unwanted pests from mice to bugs. But then, of course, you can't keep a pet dog or cat, otherwise it'll drive them nuts.

"Many people try to drive mice away using foul odors. Sounds crazy! They’re the stinky ones, right? But essential oils such as peppermint, mothballs, ammonia and onion have been known to drive mice away. Some people even say fox urine will send your mice packin’ because the fox is a natural predator of mice."

Call a pest control company, they will either drop poison or set up sticky traps. You can also set up a sticky trap yourself, I'm assuming you meant that you didn't want to use the springboard type traps.

I heard that mint plants, planted around the outside of the home are helpful. I have it planted where my clothes dryer opening is no mouse in my house. Give it a try.

Rat shot in a .22 rifle works very well...even though it does tend to mess up anything behind the target

Unplug it from the computer if it is wired. If it's wireless, just toss it away. You should know though, it is harder to navigate on the screen just using the keyboard.
