Eww why did I click on that spoiler? I'm not terrified of pretty much anything. Spiders don't even phase me but the sight of a mouse makes me scream like a little girl.

This says there are seven species of mice in Alberta. I'd say it looks like a standard house mouse.

How about a scratching on the curtain beside your head when you are almost asleep? I have no clue how it got in and those curtains are pretty high off the ground like 5 feet with nothing but wall straight up to them. He ran around a bit after he jumped from the curtains but then received a Marty McSorely with the kids hockey stick.

Any opening. Sneak into the garage. Crawl in through the dryer vent.

Holy crap, it's a Bolivian jumping mouse! In South America, herds of these small but vicious predators have been known to swarm and kill house pets, livestock and even the occasional child left staked out to avert their nibbly wrath. Luckily, they only become aggressive every 5 to 7 years, according to a little-understood lunar cycle, this being known as "el tiempo de ejecución", or "the time of fleeing".

Bad juju, dude. I suggest never returning to your house again. Or buy a truckload of cats - and not the friendly purry kind either, but half-wild farm cats, and expect to lose quite a few of them before victory is won.

It is a house mouse or field mouse. Not a deer mouse. Very very common in all areas of Calgary. Save some money and go to the local hardware shop and buy some poison along with multicatch devices. Put them under the sinks and in the basement or where harborage sites may exist. Classic old snap traps work like a charm too, place a little PB on them for bait...

That and figure out how it came in, based on the size of this mouse it could very likely have found its way in a door when left ajar trying to seek shelter because its den may be flooded out.

Thanks for the response, you are correct that I was wondering about deer mice. I'm fairly certain this mouse came from a tent trailer I picked up last weekend that ended up having mouse crap all through it. We shut it down and don't plan on keeping it but I assume there was still a mouse in it that came to visit the house.
