Deer mice here are like yours, white below, but grey on top. Then there are all the voles here ...lots of folks here call them all mice....even shrews. Thank you for the eastern education ! Well as P Skinny showed everyone here years ago- he was the mini trap mouse catcher - even using tiny longsprings ! http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

If it is drop in tiles, are the droppings falling through a gap onto the desk and not actually getting dumped there? Maybe the mice are upstairs? This. Is he taking the bait or ignoring the traps? I'm going to assume you tried so many baits because they weren't getting touched, which tells me there's no mouse on the desk/floor. In that case, either 1) the mice are in the ceiling like he said, or 2) An office prankster is sprinkling mouse turds on your wife's desk.
