Does anyone know how to get rid of a redneck mouse?

The mouse moved in a couple of months ago, and this mouse refuses to take the hint that I want her gone!  Now I know it is common for mice to get into our homes, but this sucker decided to move into the trunk of my car and will not leave! She leaves small “reminders” of her presence in my car each night, and I am getting fed up with this mouse!

I put mothballs in the truck of my car, hoping the smell would drive the mouse out. No luck. Next I tried pouring ammonia in the truck of my car. The mouse just laughed at me! I put a glue trap in my back floorboard, and the mouse drug it to the front floorboard area.  So, over the weekend I purchased a product “guaranteed” to drive the mouse from my car. It is a small bag filled with essential oils and other smelly items to drive the mouse out.

It pooped in my cup holder Sunday night!

Now at my wit’s end, I’m trying to figure out a way to evict this mouse, and am contemplating extreme measures! I am thinking about maybe creating some form of booby trap to get rid of this mouse, something like a piece of cheese on a string tied to the trigger of a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun.  I might find a grenade, pull the pin and rig it to explode when the mouse tugs on some form of bait.

Better yet, maybe I will rig an electrical wire from my house into a metal plate and place it in my car with cheese as bait. When the mouse steps on the metal plate to get the cheese, the mouse completes the circuit and gets lit up like a light bulb!
