Dreaded mice

Help. I've seen one and droppings in the living room.

I am absolutely terrified of them and with a 1 year old I need them gone!

We had an underground leak so our kitchen is a construction site right now. That's obviously how they got in. I've blocked up any holes best I can but until it's finished I fear this is pretty much guaranteed.

What can I do? Which traps work best? Can't get a cat as I'm allergic unfortunately.
All droppings seem to be concentrated in the living room.

Sorry if this offends but i dont care about killing them. I'd rather not have glue traps though

I saw one about 3 days ago and haven't slept since...

I live rurally and humane rat traps are commonly used. Rats are then dispatched with an air gun. Keeps the population down without introducing poison into the food chain.

Really tried to get live traps to work but the mice avoided them. Sadly had to resort to old fashioned snap traps. The mice stole solid chocolate but nutella worked.
