    Figure out when it sleeps and wake the little fùçkér with some thrash metal tunes

    You could try one of those plug in things that emit a high frequency noise that apparently deters them. I don't know if it works. I used mouse traps prior to useful cats (although most of the mice I contend with these days the bloody cats brought in the window to start with).

    They don't work
    We had mouses and I caught them alive cos I like mice
    I used one of those high pitched yokes when the had the mice in a box and they don't care about them

    Maybe they went to a corner of the box... Did you expect their heads to explode?

    Wait what were you expecting to see the little mouse cover its little ears.

    Maybe it was a deaf mouse.

    Could be a massive spider.

    More than likely at this time of year. This lad was in my kitchen press last week.

    In my experience, a cat might not actually kill the mouse. It may catch it alright, but it would proceed to torture it, and more importantly you, by letting it go over and over again just for the fun of re-catching it. I'm spoken as a man who has spent about an hour standing on my couch and shouting, 'F*cking kill it this time'. Eventually the poor little thing had a heart attack I think, and I wasn't far off that stage myself.

    Have you tried lifting the bed up and taking a look?

    I read on here recently that it could be a homeless person. They have been breaking into houses just to sleep

    I'd love to catch a cartoon mouse for a change, instead of the dirty smelly Irish ones crapping all over the place.

    I've worked it out.

    It's a giant spider which can talk like Al Pacino, with a saddle riding on top of a rat.

    Let the rat move into your bed, share and share alike.

    Where there's one, there's another. Does your bed have a divan base? See if there are any drill holes underneath, he / they might be living in the base. Also, check for their poos beneath and behind your bed. Thats just the beginning, you need to find out how they got in.

    They usually have a fly or a spider on the inside that can get them the paperwork they need. But they still have to use mouse traffickers to actually get inside.

    Enticing them in with crack and dreams of a good life. Just a few years of this so they can put themselves through college, right?

    OP here! Thanks for all your... informative... responses.

    So regarding humane traps, if I saw this mouse, alive or dead, I'd absolutely freak out. I feel faint even thinking about it. So that's out of the question.

    I'm thinking one of those high frequency devices but I'm skeptical if they work?

    What am I gonna do?!

    I used one for years and never had a mouse problem. But they are preventative, you are going to have to get your current lodger out.

    Just get a humane trap if you don't want to kill it. Don't be afraid of it, they are kinda cute albeit a bit diseasey. Used to get them in a job I was in all the time because the shutters had to be up on part of the building.

    Just woman up and deal with it, be grand.

    Seems like an old wives clickbait tale but I read on d'internet recently that mice can't stand the smell of peppermint, it stated to brew peppermint tea and leave the tea bags in the vicinity of the infestation. Sounds like hocus pocus but sure give it a shot.

    Failing that, he will have amazing digestion and zero heartburn.

    The next step is the mouse will move upwards to the bed. (upward social mobility)
    Then after that he will live in your bed. You may possibly move. (gentrification)

    It's the big thing in ireland now having the supply to meet the housing demand.
