Here's the end (hopefully) of my story.
After the first night the trap was empty but I came out during the night and saw the mouse enjoying himself on the stove so I knew where to focus on.
The second night I left 15 traps on, under, and around the stove. In the morning I saw droppings on one of the traps in back of the stove (I believe he was on the trap and found his way out
) Now I knew exactly from which hole he comes in.
Last night I surrounded the whole with snap traps and this morning the mouse was dead.
Ugh ugh ugh
