These would be Leprechauns, methinks. :-)
Here's an old W. Ray Gibbons post which asks the same question:

Subject: Mouses vs. upholstery
In the frozen northlands (CA dwellers may delete, except those in
Anaheim, who may have a worse problem than me) mice may try to make a
home in your lovingly stored lbc. I am told that they particularly
enjoy nests in the heater ducts made of chewed up upholstery and
carpet.
Last year, I put a couple of classic spring traps on the carpets, but
the cheese and peanut butter must be unappetizing after a week or so.
Besides, I forgot to take them out before my first spring drive.
Both triggered and leapt into the air when I hit the first bump;
surprise!
This year, I have bought special adhesive traps, but don't trust the
adhesive to catch mousies when it is cold.
So far, no problems, but I do have nightmares in which mice, their
mouths full of carpet, play a significant part. How do others deal
with this?
