Mouse in My House

Sorry to trouble you all but my house mate thinks she saw a mouse in our kitchen last night. Has anyone got any tips for getting rid of the little blighters? We don't leave food lying about and the place is usually kept clean and tidy, but that doesn't seem to have stopped them.

(A cat is a bit imparctical too)

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I've sometimes tried catching mice one by one and evicting them.. Worked on one, which looked extremely cute and fluffy under the glass bowl which I caught it with. I gave it a life of freedom behind the bins.

It hasn't worked since..

Mice are nice guests, but they do keep you up at night with their gnawing.

Mothballs in the spaces where they live. Drives 'em out without killing them.

make sure you keep your food in sealed containers, not loose bags

get a bin with a proper lid
