HELP! Mouse Alert!!!?

Question

I live in NYC and I saw a mouse in my living room today! I was really freaked out! It's an old building so patching up all holes isn't an option. I don't even know where it could have come from.

After a battle of wits (I was trying to catch it with the whole bucket thing and let it out somewhere far from home), I managed to have it in my closet instead, and after taking out all the shoes it ran out and started going crazy on me.

I panicked (I'm totally NOT a fuzzy critter type of girl) and kicked it towards my door, and it ended up in the hallway. I live on the 4th floor and I don't know what to do, will it come back? Will it go into one of my neighbors apartments? (I'd hate anyone else to deal with this crap as well)

I'm quickly developing a phobia and can not sleep or study because I feel things crawling on me or am seeing things all over the place...

Advice is appreciated, just don't crack jokes...I am really stressed about this =\

Mice learn & seem to be pretty smart...Chances are if you kicked it, it's going to find somewhere else to go besides back to your place . It MAY end up at your neighbors, but honestly if you live in NYC and this is the first mouse you've dealt with, consider yourself lucky! (I doubt your neighbors haven't dealt with mice before already...You can warn them, but what good will it do? If it gets in their place, they'll know. )

Answer 3

The easies thing to do that will get rid of the mouse should it ever come back, and it probably will, is to set up a Rat Zapper mouse trap. You will sleep better at night with the zapper on guard. Here is a link, http://ratmousezapper.com/
