An unwanted visitor in the house!

My sister was woken up to a lot of noise in her bedroom this week, scratching and rustling. After investigating, she discovered it was a mouse! She is refusing to stay in the house and is staying at my mum's with her bf and daughter.

The mouse was gone when she looked for it. She has set 4 traps (the ones which just trap them in the box) and put peanut butter inside. She went round to check today and the traps were empty. How long do you think it'll be before the mouse gets caught? Also, is there likely to be more than one?

She is a clean person with no animals and is completely petrified.

some councils use proper pest control companies so £20 seems like a good deal.

baza, £20.00 is cheap, I used to charge £65.00 for mice and £45.00 for rats in a typical 3 bed house and that 9 years ago.

The trouble is they can't come out until next Tuesday! They aren't proper pest control, they could just put some traps out. £80 would have been ridiculous for putting traps down. Council also said it wasn't their problem, weren't very helpful.
