They seem to be able to climb walls. We often get them here in Normandy
in the Winter as they sneak in upstairs somehow for some warmth. I
always put mouse bait down. The pinkish looking grains. Seems to do the
trick. Only down side is they may die under the floorboards and smell
for a week or two as they decompose. Mouse traps avoid this situation,
but you may be called upon to "do the deed" if the trap just catches one
by a limb instead of killing it. However, better to catch them. Not only
can they spread disease they can gnaw on electric cables and cause
fires. Look out for the tell-tale mouse droppings and put traps / bait
around there.
