When you say a mouse, do you mean you have spotted a mouse, or that you have signs of a mouse infestation (i.e, vast quantities of droppings, chewed items, nests)?
If simply spotting a mouse (which is almost certainly a field or wood mouse) running through, then in most cases, if you do not make it attractive to them there will not be any incentive for them to come back - i.e, keep the area clear (mice hate wide spaces) and do not leave any food dropped or about.
Moth balls (the old fashioned camphor type) are supposed to be a good deterrent, so you can leave them along the edges.
If you have signs of an infestation, then the first thing to do is see what they are being attracted by - mice will only go where there is food, shelter and safety; remove this and there is nothing to attract them
I do not know of any spray deterrent, and while there are all sorts of poisons, bear in mind that (a) they are not selective so could end up poisoning other animals, and (b) to get them to eat the poison, the poison itself has to attract the mice first - so by putting poison down for a single mouse, you may end up causing an infestation.
Far better to remove anything that is attracting them so they do not spend time loitering nearby.
