Yeah, well, it could have been far worse I guess. Like when I went out of town for two weeks and just after I left, the breaker was tripped on my garage with a big freezer full of about a thousand rodents and several pounds of Ladyfish and shrimp for fishing bait!!
Let me tell ya,.......the smell I had to deal with when I got back home at 2:00 am would have made a maggot puke his guts out!!. All the bags that were chock-full of rodents and fish were now putrified into brown liquid!!, and the stench permeated our entire dwelling for several days even after all the windows and fans were on 24/7.
Oh!, did I forget to mention that right after I told my girlfriend to put the damn bag of rotten brown sludge back into the freakin freezer and close the lid so I can take the entire thing outside and I'll deal with all of it in the morning, she then proceeded to pull one of the huge ziplock bags of brown mush that were once XXXLG Breeder rats out upside down and it blew out all over the freakin garage floor!. People,...I was so pi$$ed I could have manually choked her to death!!!!
Let me just say I can't remember the last time I was ever that mad!...seriously........it was EVERYWHERE!!!. Oh what a fun night that was my friends! 
I had to stick my head far down into the freezer too the next day to pull all the bags outside on the lawn to toss into tripled-up hefty bags, and I was gagging my BRAINS OUT while doing this, along with said girlfriend who I made hold the bags open while I tossed them in..... between gags and eyes watering of course!. This was the most horrific stench I have ever experienced in my entire life, and I will NEVER forget that experience either as long as I live.......PERIOD!!LOL!
Of course this happened just after re-ordering tons of mice and huge rats too......ARRRGH!
Anyway, your "one mouse" problem doesn't sound so huge now, does it..LOL!..
