This best advice I can give is to repel them so that they do not even WANT to come inside.

How you ask? Peppermint extract from your kitchen cupboard--or the store if you don't have any. Put drops of it around any entry point. They don't care for the smell and will stay out. I have even seen evidence of a mouse trying to gnaw their way out of a building once the buiding was treated. $2 and a pleasant smell is all it takes.

If you have a crawl space dump a bunch there too.
I would also treat around the foundation if it were me doing it.

However since you have a mouse already in the house, you might also bait one trap by tying a string to the bait pan, then smearing it with bacon grease. They like it as well as peanut butter. Oh what the heck, smear the string on a different trap with peanut butter.
