What's the best way to get rid of him? I figure he came in from outside to escape from the cold - the weather dropped into the 30's for the first time this season last night.
Hello, I bought 2 wall sensors that drive away rodents from Home Depot. I do not know the name brand but buy they cost 27.00. It covers 1,500 square feet. I also used glue traps. Try the wall sensors.I have not seen any since I installed them. The sensors plug into the wall. Hope this helps you.
I actually have two cats. One is too old and fat to care about a mouse, and the other looked at me like I was insane when I woke her up from her nice, warm spot on the bed and carried her downstairs and stuck her behind the piano (which is where the mouse ran). So much for that...

I always wondered if those things work. Do you have pets? Do they cause problems for other mammals (cats, dogs)?
We had that problem after our cat died. My spouse bought mouse traps and set them up. Caught 4 mice in 1 week, and the problem has been solved for now.
You are probably right about it coming in from the cold. However, you can't be sure. There may be more hiding about somewhere. Get some cheap traps and set them out for a few nights-----where the cats can't get to them of course.
Can you imagine how I felt one day when I opened my oven and there a cute little mouse sat, calming looking at me?
Only one I ever had. I think he came from out side too. At least, he didn't seem to have any friends in the rest of the house.
Standard mouse trap has been around forever and they will do the trick. If you are open to another cat, a younger and more hunting-oriented one might help.
There are "Better Mousetrap" type all-plastic traps available, they are easier to set than the old standby, and harder to pinch your own finger in.
"Bugspray.com" has "Tin Cat" type mousetaps that can catch more than one, but you have to deal with them after they are caught.
I was wondering about those wall sensors too. We just saw our first house mouse three nights ago, and haven't caught it yet with a few snap traps. Its been a long few nights, since I saw it in our bedroom! Since we have three dogs, we cannot just set traps anywhere. We're thinking about crating them for the nights, and setting up traps like crazy to get our little invader.
