I've used traps that capture mice rather than kill them. They have a
teeter-totter ramp that the mouse walks up (in response to bait) and, once
the ramp totters, the mouse can't get back out. Then you take the entire
trap to your neighbor's house and release the mice (just kidding!).

I recently discovered mouse droppings in my '96 EVC. They'd been into a
bag of dog biscuits I had on the dash (which is how I first discovered
them) and also into the cupboard just above the back seat where I store dry
food stuff. I trapped 3 mice in two nights then left on a week long trip
in the van (set the traps the first night but they weren't touched) got
back and caught another mouse the second night back. So it looks like they
aren't living in the van yet and just coming in to scrounge for now. My
concern is that they might take up residence. I have put mouse tempting
items (including paper coffee filters) in containers but they still seem to
be coming in.
I'm not overly fond of trapping mice and would rather find a way of
keeping them out. Does anyone have any ideas of where they might be
getting in and how I might stop them?
