My missus just screamed the place down, I thought someone was in the house and rushed downstairs, only to be told that she'd seen a mouse. I've never encountered a mouse in the house before. What is the best course of action?

Best traps? Best electronic repellents?

I've read about these electronic repellents but would they work in my kitchen? It's 16x30ft, 20ft ceiling.

I was thinking I'd put a few traps down and get one of these repellents to stop more coming back, but which ones are best?

Thanks

We had mice last year; in the kitchen too, fortunately (or so I thought) we have 2 terriers, unfortunately they are both a disappointment to their breed; scared of the mouse!

So I bough 2 of:

Laced them with peanut butter, put them down just before bed and hey presto, dead mouse in the morning.
These are the traps I got, literally caught one within 15 minutes of the trap going down, haven't seen anymore since. Looks like the mouse was running solo, at least that's what I'm hoping.
