Following on from the 'Bat in the Bedroom' thread, we have a Mouse in the Bedroom problem here.
The little bugger has taken up residence in my son's bedroom and keeps him awake at night scuttling about, not to mention the damage it's causing by chewing stuff. We've been making efforts to trap it, all to no avail.
Despite the sleepless nights, son is intent on catching his new friend alive, and refuses to allow a Little Nipper in the room. So I bought a live-capture trap
I can't figure how it's managing to escape - the only thing I can think of is that the trap is too short and the mouse's tail keeps the door ajar. However, son has seen it several times and it's only a tiny little thing.
Am I missing the bleedin' obvious?
