I had a mouse stuck between the studs of a wall once, and I could see him from a hole in the top plate of the wall. The little bugger fell in and was exhausted from trying to get out. So I toss down a little water and nuts and a line of rope so that he'd get nourished and hydrated and crawl up the rope and get out. Sure enough, in the morning he walked right into the trap at the top of the hole. On afterthought, I realized that I should have attached the trap to the rope and gone fishing. Whatever gets him out of the wall before he dies. Covered the hole with screen afterwards.
