There is this mouse in my apartment, and now he's eating stuff from my kitchen in obvious and disgusting ways. I've tried poison packets and glue traps but it's not working...any suggestions?

bait of hot meleted bowl of cheedar cheese and set it on floor so that the mouse can smell the cheese, you hide by stading somewhere quietly and when the time is right shoot it with a bebe gun.

Before I called in a real exterminator I had attic mice that came in as a result of construction next door. I tried glue boards and never caught one at all. I tried snap traps with peanut butter and caught about one a day. I never tried poison because I know that if they ate the poison and died inside a wall the stink would be here forever.
When the exterminator came he did glue boards which still didn't get any. He tried snap traps baited with peanut butter. Each time I heard a snap I would call and he would take out the old trap with dead mouse and put in a new one in its place and a few more near it. He was better at finding the pathways that they liked to run along and putting the traps on them. The best thing is that after a few weeks he figured out that they had climbed in through a small hole near where the air conditioning condensate pipe came through the wall. He explained that the mice are great climbers and had gone 20 feet up the pipe and then gnawed in to enlarge a gap slightly (they can fit into a hole the size of a quarter). He closed that with brass wool and there hasn't been a mouse since.
That is what an amateur and a pro found effective.

A good old fashioned spring loaded mouse trap. They are the best & you KNOW where the body is. Just throw the whole thing away if it grosses you out to re-set it. You get buy 2 traps in a pack for about $3.00!

The spring trap is the most effective and kindest (?). Quick death. Glue boards should be banned! They are awful. Slow death. Cheese, peanutbutter, bacon should all work. Put the trap where the mouse travels. Poison packets should work IF you have eliminated other food.

Try a mouse trap. Put some peanut butter on it. But keep in mind that some mice are alergic to peanut butter. If that is the case with you're mouse, use cheese.

just use the old fashion spring traps. you can get them now where you don't have to touch the mouse at all. they work just like a really strong clothes pin. you squeeze the top and bottom together to set it and after you have caught a mouse you do the same thing to remove the mouse
