How to catch a mouse - cheap

From Scaramouchblog:

I think I may have a mouse in the house. And if there's one, then you know there's many more.

We have an old cat that's going toothless and the dog just had surgery, so they've been no help at all. Therefore, it's left up to me to find a solution.

So with the power of Google I found a low-tech solution worth trying:
How to catch a mouse without a mousetrap:

Nice_mouse_trap- Get a toilet paper tube and crease two lines to form a flat sided tunnel.
- Put a treat on one end of the tube: A cracker and dab of peanut butter works great.
- Get a tall (at least 20 inches) bucket. A trash can works well.
- Balance the tube precariously on the edge of a table or counter with the treat hanging directly over the tall sided receptacle.
- The mouse will scurry to the treat (they like tunnels) and fall into the trap.

Now, ….. what do you do with the mouse?
