Good news is that he gets into it from the outside, and it appears he hasn't actually gotten "inside" the house. Bad news is that before I patch the access point up, I want to make sure the wall is mouse-free, and that might be a little tricky.
You do realize it will probably die before coming out, right? I learned that one the hardway. In fact, my mouse came into my apartment to die. It wasn't pleasant.
Eh, I'll give my trap a couple of days. Got a big live trap that can hold multiple mice, in case we've got more than one. Also picked up a can of that foam spray, so as soon as I know I've got the bastards, I'll seal the way they got in.
The trap is set at the only way in/out (that I know of), and I've got some peanut butter inside it, which will hopefully help attract 'em. If I get a couple of mice within the next day or two, I'll hope/figure that I've got all of them, and block the way in. If a few days pass, but there are no mice, and no more noises from the wall, I'll just figure they croaked and seal the joint.
