Maybe it's different round your way, but we phoned the council on the Monday and the almost-certainly-stoned mouse-catcher was round Wednesday lunchtime and "dealt with them". DIY mouse-catching seems far too much like hassle to me, although I've heard good things about the squealing mouse plug as well.
My mouse problem didn't get sorted until the pub downstairs got people in to deal with it. You may need to talk to the upstairs neighbours about it as well.

jb i suspect hackney council may not be quite that fast-moving, and i'm certain there are hundreds of houses/flats with a worse problem than an mouse that they should prob deal with first. also the squealy thing will keep future mice away, right? good point ed, upstairs is our landlady so won't be a prob.
GAH i am going crazy trapped in house waiting for dhl!
