Get some baking silver foil. Scruch some up and fill and holes and mouse may use as entry or exit to your room (even small holes, a mouses sceleton can bend and compress to fit through the most unlikely of spaces). Also roll scrunch some foil and place around skirting aound entire room.

Why baking foil? Basically, a mouse can and will eat through most surface, wood, plaster, stone etc. But when it comes to baking foil, the mouse will not go near it. It must make their teeth crawl or something. Anyway, do as i said above and the mouse will no longer feel at home in its suroundings and exit never to return.

I guarantee it works.

Try buying some mouse traps - either the 'mouse-friendly' ones that catch the mouse without harming it or something a bit meaner...we recently had a mouse run across our kitchen and had to deal with it.

You can get traps from most local home stores, such as Robert Dyas (if you're in the UK). Put chocolate in the trap, mice love it.

If that doesn't work then call Rent-A-Kill and get the pros to get it.

I hate to be the one to tell you, it's unlikely you have only the one!

You can buy humane traps which are like cardboard boxes.

Check the outside of your house, mice can get in through the smallest space - check the sealing around heating and dryer vents, aerial access, any wiring passing into the house, any broken steps or gaps around the doors or windows. If you're in a semi or terraced house, mice can enter through shared attic space or sub-flooring. Check for seals around all of these areas.

If you're satisfied that your house is sealed properly, release your mouse outside, otherwise, take him deep into the country, or he'll be back to visit!

Maybe it could be a frog. Spiders don't really run away but you could of caught it at a moment when it was on a mission. Though spiders don't usually jump when you throw stuff at it so this is ruled out. Bugs I have seen don't jump. This only leaves the mouse. They can jump.

Get a long tube, like one from a kitchen roll or longer. You can chase them halfway down the tube, and then they don't run out the other end as they think they're in a safe hiding place. You now have one caught mouse for disposal.

Use a mouse trap with a bit of chocolate on it and then that will be the end of your problem

I have just experienced a similar problem. We lay 4 traps filled with the smallest amount of chocolate so it had to lean right into the trap and we caught it the first night!

Good Luck

You can get humane traps that don't kill if you can't bring yourself to - try DIY and hardware stores or maybe petshops. They're pretty tricky to catch yourself - otherwise get a pest control guy in (not really worth it for one mouse?) or borrow someone's cat - make sure its a mouser tho, some cats are useless.

Put chocolate (not cheese) in a mousetrap. 100% success. I'm afraid if you've got one mouse, it's highly likely there is another, and also a nest of young. So be prepared.

Better get on the case quick because it could be a pregant female but their are humane traps you can buy that just contain them and then you can take them as far away as you think means they don't know their way back and set them free
