Is that not what Tennis Rackets were made for . . . . :)
OK I like this one. a one-way-door for mice... but having grown up on a far, I must point out a big problem here, the fact that there is a mouse to evict, points to the other fact, that the mouse got inside in the first place. My dad used to send me walking across the fields to empty the mouse-trap, because mice tended to be back in the kitchen before me if I just dropped them outside. (the other little issue naturally is that I have seen plenty of floor-boards with neat round holes where the mouse literally gnawed its way through a board of wood. :-D
But this could work well if the entry points were appropriately sealed.
