I sometimes use my wifes hair dryer when I don't want to plug in the compressor to dry equipment. I also use it to heat stickers/labels to help with removal.
 
Go to YouTube...there are a ton of videos on how to capture mice. Very effective is the use of BEER in a bucket...it draws them to it. They fall in and can't get out.
I found a mummified mouse in a bottling bucket that was in the garage. Needless to say the bucket went to the dump.
 
I recently bought a used Jeep. The ac fan had a terrific vibration at higher speeds, shook the whole car. Yep, sure enough. Dead mouse inside the fan, throwing it out of balance. Little devils get everywhere! It was so desiccated it had no smell at all, thank goodness.

I've definitely had a rat climb out of a home depot bucket that was half-full of water. And he was not in the best of health, either. So in my experience, I would not trust that.

Beer has an added benefit that water lacks: alchohol. Its absorbed transdermally as well as ingested. Mouse will drown from alcohol toxicity.

I did this in my garage, only I filled the bucket up too high. Damn rat got out 3 times to pee before he finally drown.
