How do I get rid of my mouse problem quickly and safely?

I'm living in a flat and I can't get hold of my landlord, but lately we've seen several large mice running around our lounge floor. There are about a million cats in our area, so anything that catches them is gonna have to kill them, since letting them go will just wind them up as kitty feed anyhow. Any suggestions? I don't even know where to buy the traps/poison/whateverthehell I'll need

Answers:
If you ring your local council environmental health dept. they'll send someone round to put poison down, and keep coming back till all the little poppets are dead and gone (inc. removal of corpses!). Our local council does it for about £30 flat fee.

Traps-Traps-Traps! U may be sorry if U use poison.....U can empty traps but when U use poison, they die and can't always be found. As they rot , your house may smell, a better word would be stink very badly, for a week or two. I didn't learn my lesson the first time but after the second time, believe me, I did.

take some pepperment oil and put it on a cotton ball where they are running the most..make sure its the real pepperment oil not extract.
Find a hardware store or even some d-i-y stores. Get the traps laid and put in a square of chocolate. They love it more than cheese. I had a mouse problem and solved it within days. Both kinds of traps (kill and no-kill) should be available.
This is in addition to Jax, buy the type of poison that causes them to seek-out water, and they will go outside and die.
Buy a couple of mouse traps from a hardware store, poison is cruel, those sticky glue strips are evil - at least traps kill them quickly and don't harm the environment.
local hardware shop and buy the sticky sheets once they walk onto them they are stuck very simular to the fly paper you can buy
yeah get your self some mouse traps and a jar of peanut butter place a bit on the traps and place them were you wont but make sure they are near were the mouses run they love peanut butter as the smell is so strong to them plus when they get on the trap to taste the stuff they have to get right on as the peanut butter is so sticky!! happy hunting!!
