The most humane ways to handle a pest animal, such as a mouse in your kitchen, would be to use a live-catch trap. This allows you to safely and humanely remove the animal from your home and release it somewhere else. You can also try using natural remedies such as essential oils or plug-in devices that emit sounds or ultrasonic frequencies which might be effective in repelling the animal.
