There's a mouse about this hoose.....
Discussion
As per title, we live out in the sticks, when we moved into the house we found a dead mouse upstairs, Died from poisoning so obviously someone had put poison down.
Anyway, yesterday evening the wife came flying into the sitting room screaming ( just as top gear was starting so i told her to feck off
) turns out we have a little feild mouse in the kitchen 
Anyway, after top gear, i went and found the little fecker but i couldn't get him out, i managed to get it into the utility room, open the back door and waited for it to run out.
I couldn't catch it, it was far too quick!
What is the best way to stop this from happening again? i cant see how it got in....

You'll never beat them! Accept the fact you'll always have them and invest in a cat!
I caught 3 mice last night...
I dont like cats at all< we had a Jack Russel but she was useless at anything like that. She kept chewing everything up so my MIL has her now anyway!I caught 3 mice last night...

Move?
wow, that must have taken ages to think of that, comedy gold!My suggestion is the only practical way to ensure that you never come across such a horrendous situation ever again.
Have a nice day.

I must admit it does sound a tad like people that move near an airport and then complain about the noise!

Go to the gym, get fitter, catch the mice.
Serious: they were there before you, you won't get rid of them.
Start that in Jan Serious: they were there before you, you won't get rid of them.
I'm not bothered to much about the fact they are there, more of the worry that they will start chewing stuff they shouldn't and nesting places they shouldn't.
If they where normal mice or rats then yes, i'd be popping off rounds around the house by now
First off, tell your wife to "GET A FEKIN GRIP"
Its a small mouse, not a flamin tarantula.
Having Mice in and about the house when you live in the country is a good sign anyway, it means you dont have a rat problem.
You live in the country, you should expect to share your property with the local residents to a small extent. A field mouse (which seem to move at lightspeed!!!) is no threat to your health and safety. Its only after a little warmth and sustinance during the hard winter times. I'm not saying encourage it, but really, do you think its going to ruin your life? No.
Suggest you go and get a couple of those old Disney DVDs for your missus for christmas. You know, the ones with the singing rodents that help about the house. Sweet.

If its a toss up between a cat or moving......... welcome my furry friends!!
I'll get some traps out and see if it works, its not like we have hundreds living in the house, as i say i've only seen one alive, plus the dead one.
Only seen one, guaranteed there are hundreds though.I'll get some traps out and see if it works, its not like we have hundreds living in the house, as i say i've only seen one alive, plus the dead one.
