I just heard a funny noise and turned round to see a mouse going up my curtain on the inside (they are voile)!!! Talk about having to look twice - it has just pegged it into my bedroom closely followed by one of my cats (I have 3) and is now under my bed - eek!!

I should think the mouse is thinking 'eek' too!!
Good luck getting him out, not sure I could sleep knowing there's a mouse in my bedroom. |

lay a wellington boot on its side, the little sqweaky people usually oblige by running into the boot and you can then transport them to the garden  Sometimes they run out of the boot and up your arm, in these cases it is customary to make more noise than the mouse.
Good luck |

Any peanut butter in the house? You could try and lure it into a corner. A tea towel is quite good, you can bundle them up and run for the garden.
A friend came home and found a woodpecker clinging to one of her pictures - she suspected her cats knew how it got there. She used the tea towel for that one very successfully. |

Agree with the tea towel idea,I had a bat on my shower curtain and caught it in a towel to put it outside.
What a noise it made!Like a mouse with wingsA very loud mouse! |

 My old house had everything in it, as our back garden was woods!!!!
could not even have the lounge windows open or phesants decided to pop in, clothes got ate by moths, dread to think how many spiders in our stomachs when they climbed in our mouths when asleep at night!!!!
Then mice which the cats brought in regular!!!
No no no
Sell up and move thats what we did!!!!! |

I'm having a bit of a war with grmupy OH for the last two weeks....
We have lots of micies in the garage which are really HUGE!! They've dined all winter on his fishing bait!!
So he decided to lay a not so genious plan... he hooked up some fishing bait, under a huge tuperware box, so when the took the bait the box would trap them..... clever little micies eat bait under the box and then run off safely!!! He's in the garage every night setting this up!! Fool!!!
I bought him a humane mouse trap which he refuses to use, even though i caught two and released them in my field...
He has now declared full scale war on clever little micies and bought nasty killer traps and poison!!! (to my disgust!!)
As soon as he trots of to work in the morning, I nip out to the garage, set the traps off, and throw them in his golf bag!!!! and clean up all the poison!!!
Silly Grumpy OH has been questioning me as to where the micies traps are, I plead ignorance obviously! Now he is convinced that the mice are pushing them down the back of the shelves - becuase of course they would do that would they!!!!!
He is going to have a shock next time he plays golf though!!!!!!! ~evil laugh~
Clever little micies!!!! |

| But the most funny thing was I would shut the loo door & the mice would run into it & bang heads as the door was usually open!! |

| I normally set them free - gave this one the option of a nice chocolate in a little humane trap but it ran the gauntlet with my cats I think... |
