How do you kick a Carolina Wren out of your basement? Or catch it?

Okay. This little guy decided it was too cold outside. I opened the door to my basement and he flew in real close to the ground and then disappeared into the "woodwork".

So far he's found every possible hiding place in there. Any nook or crannie the size of a mouse hole is fair game for this cagey beast.

Okay so far he doesn't like all of his cubby holes. He's got some water to drink and I'm getting ready to find some kind of bird seed, fruit or berries. I really don't have any lizards as its too cold for them, no tree frogs either as its too cold for them. And the only insect bait I have is dead.

I've tried a box with lots of straw in it, cut a hole in the top and tried that. But that's the one place he won't run to.

I also tried the same thing a 2nd time, this time using latex gloves figuring maybe my scent scared him off. No dice.

My only other option is starve him out, leave the door open and air condition the house I just spent a lot of money heating, or leave the house, park the car inside engine running and gas him then clear out the carbon monoxide (LOL) or find a way to bait and trap him. I'm going for the last option.

I'd hate to waste the little guy. I know he's cold. My basement's warm. But he's making lots of shrill noise down there and I'd like to get some sleep sometime.
