A number of techniques were employed to persuade it out of the house (including a sonic mouse repeller, which did nothing). These were stepped up when the swine ate huge chunks out of my Sesame Street t-shirt and nibbled through my favourite bra.
In order to address this problem, I purchased a number of humane traps, the eponomously titled "Big Cheese". Apparently, once loaded and set, these will humanely trap my mouse (and yes, I am referring to it as a singular mouse as the idea that there are multiple mice makes me feel more than a little sweaty), whom I can then drive several miles away and release into a field. It sounds excellent.
Sadly, it would appear that Wiltshire Towers has a magical effect on anyone under the height of 5 foot, making them into quasi genuis'.
The result of these traps? The fecking mouse has stolen the bait from one of the traps, and as for the other one?
Time to try again, methinks...

If its only a small mouse the humane traps arent much good. I managed to attract the mice into my parents house years ago by storing the rabbits food and bedding in the conservatory. Result, the mice ate thru the bottom of the conservatory and made themselves at home. Only way in the end was to use the non humane ones, was 3 of the buggers and they all kept nicking the cheese and escaping - good luck!
i remember having mice at my childhood home. we managed to find where they were getting in and blocked up the gap. not always so easy though as yours seem like crafty so and so.
