Multi-catch live capture mouse trap.
Basically a jig to hold some nails in place to form a one-way opening for small rodents.
Requires nails (~3mm diameter x ~50mm) x 16 and a non-chewable container.
A large tin, jar or mesh cage would make a suitable rodent prison with this forming the entrance. Once inside, the mouse cannot chew the plastic so soft PLA is fine.
Bait suggestions in comments - personally I have had success with fresh bread or a paste of oats, peanut butter and honey.

I did however setup a few dozen old-school snap traps and started catching them within 20 minutes. After spending an afternoon constantly resetting traps I've pretty much wiped them out inside the house. Only the
