Very determined Mouse!

[Catherine]

Quote:Unfortunately I am not sure I can do this. I have found I am scrubbing everything down every day, and he has even been inside my little oven, leaving little poops there....I can't wash the whole kitchen down every day.

You can't keep this up. He will wear you out. How one little mouse can make such a mess is beyond me. Better he goes now while it is not too cold. The hay barn is good shelter. You can take him some seeds to start off his winter supply.  Inside your place he won't hibernate like he should. In the hay barn there are probably other mice he can share space with and they can keep each other warm.

As much as you hate to do it the little mouse needs to be moved very soon. It is clear he won't leave things alone in the house. The only other way to keep him is to get a large mouse cage, but I don't see you caging a wild creature.

Good luck catching him.
