So we still have a mouse living in our kitchen. I managed to herd it into a humane trap once -- and then didn't move it far enough from the house -- so he's not falling for that again.
I've even mounted a motion-sensing camera on the kitchen ceiling -- I have cameras lying around (work-related) and already had a power-over-ethernet connection from a former ceiling mount wireless AP there -- so I have any amount of video of the critter darting around. We also occasionally spot it personally. It's ridiculous how cute it is.
By the time I work out how to trap it again we're going to be so fond of it that we're not going to want to consign it to the wilderness to be eaten by an owl. Trying to decide if a wild mouse would be happy as a pet in a comfortable and well-appointed terrarium.
@pieist We get small bush rats in our garden (coastal BC) in the summer so I safe-trap them and then DRIVE them at least a couple of kms away and release them. They'd need GPS to find us again.
@SonofaGeorge
Yeah, I'm less than a mile from the Columbia River, there's plenty of wild places for them to live. (And plenty of owls and raptors to eat them.) I took a few rats out there before I figured out how they were getting in.
