    Trapping is the way to go

    Up to you whether a no-kill trap or not though some peanut butter or cheese will lure in the little fella

    We've had several get in the house over the years (old rural home) and was even woken up once from one running across us in bed

      OMG HE'S SOFUCKING STUPID HE RAN BACK UNDER THE WASHING MACHINE BECAUSE HE THINKS MY PERIPHERAL VISION ONLY EXTENDS LIKE 15° 😭😭😭 AND WAITED FOR ME TO LOOK LIKE ONE FOOT TO THE RIGHT

      It's okay I used my gaze to sweep him out

      By deathmatch I mean I'm trying to get it to leave. Got it to move under something closer to the door, MAY have left. Was just using a broom for area denial.

        Try getting a net or something long. When I did he climbed on edge of the net, walked around to the handle, and politely waited for me to bring him outside.

        wrap a thick towel around your hand and just pick that mouse up. that's how i used to catch the live mice my cat brought home.

          That's a smart move but he had a place to retreat back under so letting him make a run for it did the trick, guess he wanted out

      Also 120 grams is more like rat sized, I was overestimating that
