I know the feeling, as I told you before. It isn't a wonderful feeling. But then again we do need to protect ourselves from some of the things we can catch from them and their droppings lying around the house..I think leptosporosis is one.

Not totally sure if this will work...and someone correct me if it won't...but the tried and true way of getting a pet rodent back...is to take a large bucket, make a little ramp up the bucket, and put some food in the bottom. The rodent will go into the bucket to eat, and it will be too slippery to climb out. You can then relocate the mousie-away from your house. It may be a very slow process though.
