Assistant: One common technique for catching a mouse in the kitchen is to set up a live trap.  You can then periodically check the trap in order to release the mouse far away from your home.  Here are instructions for setting up a live trap:

Step 1: Set up the live trap.  Live mouse traps come in many different varieties, but the most common have a wire cage and a food lure, usually a bit of peanut butter.  Always make sure you use only peanut butter as a food lure as other food items, like crackers and cheese, can be harmful to mice.

Place one of the traps on the floor in an area of the kitchen where you have seen the mouse.  Then lure the mouse into the trap using the peanut butter lure, and make sure to remove the food lure once the mouse has been caught.
