We had a mouse problem earlier this year. Let me tell you--and I was told this as well when I asked /an/--you don't have one mouse. If there is one, there are others.
Now, those electric thins, in my experience, do not work very well at all--they may keep the mice away from the device (like within a meter radius or so) but they will not rid your house of them. Don't bother wasting your money on them; they'll only bug the shit out of you and accomplish nothing.
I did manage to get rid of the mice without killing them. This will take patience, mind you, and several steps. First of all put ALL your food either in the refrigerator, freezer, or (for stuff in the pantry) in plastic bins. Don't leave any food out and make sure you keep your kitchen free of crumbs and food particles as best as possible.
Now that you've done this, go out and buy yourself a few live-trap mouse traps (pic related, that's the kind I'm talking about.) They have a door that only swings inward and tiny holes on the door so that the mouse can smell the bait from the inside. Take a small piece of a cracker, spread some peanut butter on it, and place it inside the traps. You might also want to rub a slight trace of the peanut butter on the door of the trap. Place the traps in small corners and in places you think the mice often walk by. Check the traps about twice a day--you should be able to catch the mice this way, and it will not harm them in any way.
