Just had the shock of my life! A mouse just ran across my living room and disappeared down a tiny hole in the floorboard where the radiator pipe goes down. Is there ever just one??? I'm off work at the moment and I'm in this room all day every day so surely I would have notice if we were infested?? We have a cat so I'm praying he brought it in. No droppings anywhere and nothing chewed. What do we think??

The next step is to put bait outside a trap and see if it gets eaten in the night. Have you been washing the traps between use?
Mice are clever and will learn to avoid traps, especially if they can smell distressed mouse off it from prior occupants.

No I haven't and I didn't know that! I'll
Wash them out and keep them down. Thanks!

That mouse is ridiculously cute, I didn't realise field mice would move in to the house 😳.
