Well said, my late dad was always very good with the shovel on the farm.
After being liberal for some time spotted on the kitchen top working surface decided thats it. I glue trapped one in my old place between the dual aspect room central doors running back into the other room. Straight out smashed it against the front garden wall. This was in the evening; nothing left in the morning.

I do agree that glue traps are horrible and I think if you do use them you have to be prepared to finish the mouse off quickly as soon as you find it - stomping on it's head hard will do it.
I don't agree that trapping mice makes no sense - it's impossible to close up all the holes in a lot of older house without rebuilding them as @Sharkstar says.
Mice are a health risk, you don't want to be sharing your living space with something that can carry hantavirus, salmonella or lyme disease.
