I've had mouse issues on and off over the years. As gross and disturbing as it is, the little snappy traps are the only thing I've ever had any luck with. I put all the kids to bed locked up safe in the cage, and then set the traps. I just make sure to move the traps before letting the kids back out to play. Of course, the little snappy traps always make me really sad, so there's lots of guilt and remorse to deal with, but that's better than one of the weasels getting some horrible disease from some mouse. None of my guys have ever shown any interest in hunting one of the darn things, but you never know when the spirit might be flung upon them. Blech.
