Saw a mouse in my AirBnB about half an hour ago. It is a small studio apartment (so no separate bedroom) and I’m here for the week. It emerged from between the cushions of the sofa then was as surprised to see me as I it, and darted back in. A little while later it emerged from round the back of the sofa, again I startled and it darted back. I never knew why people got so jumpy around mice till now!
I’m just wondering... as it’s a studio flat and I can’t lock myself away to go to sleep, well, am I basically safe from a mouse attack in the night?! I mean, do they crawl onto your face or anything?!! I have not had to deal with mice before so don’t know! I haven’t heard it moving since then. I thought it might have a hole, but maybe it lives in the sofa!
I am in North America and it looked just like your normal mouse, except its ears were a little larger and rounder than I’d have expected. (This makes it sound like Mickey!!) It was grey, and maybe gerbil-sized, but definitely mouse-shaped. Its body and head together were maybe 6 inches long, plus it had a longish tail.
