Our house has a mouse! Amazing how such a tiny critter can wreak such havok on a family's everyday life. She kept me up late into the night last night, scurrying across my bedroom's hardwood floors and munching something. This morning I discovered that her feast was the leather on my old catcher's mask.
This mouse is not shy - no dark corners or baseboard cracks for her. Every time I clicked on the light I caught glimpses of her racing across the middle of the room. So, it was no surprise tonight when I came into the kitchen to examine the squash Dad just brought in from the garden and found her sitting in the middle of the counter, eyeing the produce. One shout, and she jumped down and raced into the dining room and out of sight.
What to do? She's cute and everything, but I don't like sharing a room and groceries with her!
How do you get rid of your uninvited houseguests?

There are 2 possibilities:
1. Make or buy a trap that captures him alive and let him go on 'the place'.
2. Buy a mouse trap and load it with cheese. You know the rest. This method I've used many times with success!

i have had better luck with peanut butter... it doesn't dry out as quickly as cheese.
good luck!
a cat is the best solution. keeps the mice away.
unless of course you are allergic - so then just get a glue trap mat or bait
Thanks for the advice, all. I've gotten glue traps and set them about next to the baseboards and counter backsplashes. Poor little mouse shouldn't stand much of a chance.
