Mouse in the house

[MummyAndSon2000]

Hi everyone.
So I think I've just seen a little mouse running loose in my house and I have an extreme phobia of these little things. I've laid a towel down on the floor resting against my bedroom door as I was told that will keep it out (whether that's true or not I have no clue )
But I wont be able to sleep tonight if I think it can get into my bedroom 😂
If I keep my bedroom light on will that keep it away? Considering they mainly wonder about at night. Please please help

Bit of bacon on a mousetrap, yes bacon rind because they have to tug in order for the trap to work. However if you can't bear to spiflicate that little mouse i think you can buy more humane traps so that you can catch and release him. Always lay it next to a skirting board as mice always keep to the perimeters of a room I was told by a guy from Rentokil once. I would'nt want him roaming around too long as they can chew through electric wiring and that would cost you a few bob to get repaired.

@getwellsoon I managed to get it last night thankfully. The only thing I could find in a short space of time was the sticky Matt's. I felt awful but I know if they're left long enough they'll chew through things like u just said or bring their whole family in! Which is just as bad
