There is a mouse in my living room.

I hunted it for 90 minutes today. Somehow, it escaped - I'm not sure how.

We had it cornered under the couch. My roommate patrolled the area while I set up barricades which would (ideally) prevent it from having free reign over where it decides to go. When we shook the couch to scare him out, he darted - as anticipated. However, he managed to go off in an unanticipated direction, and then vanish into thin air. There is NOTHING on my floor right now, and he definitely isn't there.

We have some cheese laid out, and if any is gone in the morning we're going to continue the hunt.

Also, pro tip. By "hunt," I totally mean hunt. No shirt, bandana, flashlights tucked into my belt, and warpaint on. We were also communicating in hand gestures.

I will update this thread as the situation unfolds.

i think you need to start fighting it with a shotgun, or filling the walls with water

I caught a mouse in my bedroom when I was a kid. Turned a shoebox upside-down and raised one end with a pencil. Tied a string around the pencil and put a cracker with peanut butter under the box.

Then I waited. Didn't take long for that big-eared bugger to come out and I caught him.

there are two rats in my living room...

I like them there.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I chased a mouse for around an hour in my house one day, I finally cornered it in a hole in the wall. Stuffed the hole with sytrofoam and went to Lowe's and got a non-lethal trap and loaded it with a piece of cheese. Went on a hike and came back to a caught mouse. I was actually surprised how quickly and well it worked.

i had a mouse in my old place. what worked was putting sticky traps in the spaces between the walls and furniture, since mice like to run along the walls.

Had?
HAD!?!?
Did you kill my minions?!!?

(Totally irevelant [whats the word I'm looking for? that's spelled totally off] to my User Name, a place I used to work had chipmunk constumes. I didn't work in the "You are a total ***** and are going to dress up in this ridiculous costume for annoying 5 year old" department but I requested to do so on one day. It was fun.)
I hooked up with a chick trying to be silly going on a 5 year old ride on a tractor because of it too...(NO SHE WASNT %)

The squirrls are all on islands.

But yeah. Just buy a standard mousetrap, set it along a wall, bait it with peanut butter or chocolate, go to bed, and witness the glorious carnage when you wake up in the morning.
