Any suggestions ?

THIS! Whoever invented this should have been awarded a fu*king Nobel Prize.

Can be purchased reasonably priced on Amazon.

I used to live in an apartment and saw one run out on my counter a few times.

Set out sticky traps and it got stuck on a few of them but always managed to jam them against the stove and break free while I was gone.

I then put out snap traps with Nutella. The mouse would lick it off without triggering the trap.

I then pulled out my stove, figured out it was living in the crawl space, coming through a hole, and not in my actual apartment so I wasn't worried about it dying inside. Set out poison, the mouse ate all of it and that was the end of the mouse.

Balled up tinfoil and stuffed it in the hole, never had another problem.

Smart mouse though.

If she won’t have a cat, convince her to her to borrow your buddies cat for 2 weeks. Just the smell of the cat will make them move on to your neighbors house. Rinse/repeat once a year

My experience is mixed with traps

I’ve had success with glue, hidden and snap traps
Bait - peanut butter is good
Placement is key- along walls and or corners.

Also- there’s never just one mouse or rat. Usually if you see one, there’s a lot

Trap them outside, Block their entry points and any spots inside that have holes. They can fit through real small holes.

Cats are good idea too
