I was tempted!! But its dark in their, it was in my airing cupboard thingie in the boys room so not sure if theyd see it and take the hint but have blocked the hole up where they were getting out of the airing cupboard. Cant beleive the size of hole they can get through, it was where the cupboard had been cut round the skirting and the gap was no wider than 1cm
 
Better still invest in pest magic!, had one for over 4 years and havent had one since!!;) (mouse that is!)

Bunging their holes up will stop them breading,But you've got to catch them first.:hehetable
 
A mouse can dislocate its joints and squeeze through a hole as tiny as could be made with a ballpoint pen.
Wipe worktops too - they can climb up vertical surfaces

To be honest I havent yet, but saying that, wouldnt move anything out of the cupboard til I knew the coast was clear

I know they have been moving about under the floorboards though, have heard them recently
 
The trouble is they breed very fast and just 1 pregnant mouse can mean you have dozens within weeks. Traps will deal with the ones that venture near them but they may not deal with the whole problem. It might be worth getting your council's Environmental Health dept. in to clear them all out.
