I have a mouse loose in my house!
It all started a few weeks ago when I watching telly in the sitting room one night and heard a strange scratching sound followed by a little BUMP coming from behind the wall. I didn't think much of it at the time!
Then a few days later I went into the cupboard under the kitchen sink where I keep my cleaning stuff to get a replacement kitchen towel roll and it was all sort of frayed and tatty! Again I didn't think too much of it reasoning it was either like that when I brought it or I had damaged it loading the shopping into the car.
On Saturday I went into the attic to get out my insulated cool bag for a day out and it was full of holes! First I thought it was moths...but when I shook the bag it had little droppings in it!
SHITARAMA!
My father-in-law helpfully suggested I should hit it with a golf club!
Instead I have purchased two humane mousetraps from the hardware store which I have baited with peanut butter as suggested on the packaging. The mouse gets trapped inside unharmed and then you can release it back into the wild WHERE IT BLOODY WELL BELONGS!
The traps have been set since Saturday afternoon now but so far NOTHING!
Anyone have any experience of a mouse loose in their house? Or any tips for riding myself of my newly aquired little rodent friend?!
HELP!
