Well I think it's a mouse but still. It poked it's head out from the back of the dvd player in then made it's way to the kithcen, seemed to know it's way around

Anyone know how to catch the little blighter? And will there be more???? Ewwww

I found there is something quite sweet about mice, right up until you think about them running around yor kitchen!
Get a humane trap, put a little piece of snickers in it (they go mad for the peanuts and chocolate) stick it near where you think it is and wait. Our little family of furry friends seemed unable to stay out of this paradise for more than an hour each. Make sure you release it in a nice place far, far way or the buggers come back

best way is the old fashioned wooden mousetrap! Some say it's cruel, but is't quick and you are able to dispose of the culprite.

Poison is slow and painful and also they go and die behind your skirting boards or floorboards where you can't get them so they stink.

load it with peanut butter and leave it up against a skirting board (obviously out of reach of children)

don't forget to fix any holes that they can enter the house through (anything bigger than 6mm!)
