We've spotted a mouse peering out of one of the ventilation bricks under our house. This particular brick has one hole broken, which is probably how it got in.
I can't easily get access under the house floor - the entire downstairs is covered with laminate flooring. However, I bet the little blighter(s) could get into the house easily, through the hole in the cupboard under the stairs where all the cables come up from under the floor. (too small to get a hand or trap through). No evidence that they have - yet.
I guess it's essential to block up the hole in the ventilation brick, but before I do that, how to trap/kill it? (them?!) Will a trap outside do the trick? If it does catch a mouse, how will I know it's ours? I don't want to have to take the laminate floor up. I don't want to entice it up into the house.
Any ideas?
TIA, David.
