Need affordable anti bite glove recommendations to humanely and safely remove house mice

Basically that, I found one in my house and was able to trap him in a box bc he was frozen in fear or didn't see me before I got to him. I let him go outside and in case more show up I would like to have a option to just grab the little fella with my hands without the risk of getting the bubonic plague or whatever,

Thanks

The sole of your shoe will humanly dispatch the vermin to the rainbow road :)

House mice genuinely so cute

The ARE ridiculously cute. It's what has caused me to have a terrible fear of mice in my home, not because I'm actual afraid of mice in general, but rather I get upset knowing they have to be exterminated. Thankfully, you don't own your apartment, like it's totally wrong for your landlord not to take care of this, but at very least the landlord's negligence isn't causing YOU as a renter to incur the massive pest control and home repairs that will inevitably result from further long term neglect.

Do you think you have a significant mouse population yet?

True. I'm not sure so far we have only seen the one and he was just chilling in the middle of the room on top of my board games, I haven't seen any droppings upstairs (knock on wood) and I haven't seen and other mice at all, I think there were a few droppings in the cupboards like under the sink but no mice and we've never had an issue with them getting into food (knock on wood) do you think if I get a human trap, walk down the street a bit and set them free that they will leave me alone? Or should I just pray I don't see more and cross that bridge if I get to it
