There is a mouse in our air duct

My husband was not cheerful with me the other night when I woke him up out of a sound sleep.

I told him that I could hear someone in the basement.

He went into protective mode as he grabbed a flashlight plus his gun plus headed to the basement. He walked silently plus if there were someone downstairs, they never would have heard him coming. Fortunately, no a single was in the basement even though he was able to hear the noise I was hearing. He said it sounded like someone was tapping on the air duct. When he got upstairs, he heard the noise in the bedroom plus it was echoing from the air vents plus it really did sound like someone was in the basement. The two of us laid there for talking for awhile plus he shushed me. He heard more noise plus he abruptly realized what was going on. There was something scampering around inside the air duct. It was too moderate for the gas furnace to be running plus too cool for the a/c so whatever was in there was safe, but we had to find out how it had gotten into the air duct. From the sound, he was guessing it had to be a squirrel, plus now I was worrying that whatever was in the air duct was going to get into our house. The next day he called the Heating, Ventilation and A/C company plus told them we needed someone to check the air duct because we had squatters. The air duct cleaners found a nest of mice which were evicted plus they patched up the hole so the mice weren’t able to get back into the air duct.
