So Rodney, from Buith Wells in Powys, Wales, set up a night vision camera to find out what was happening.

He couldn't believe his eyes when he spotted the adorable mouse moving items left behind from a DIY task and clearing them neatly into a box.

Now the pensioner says that he never bothers to tidy up as he knows the mouse will sort it out.

Rodney said: "It has been going on for about two months. I call him Welsh Tidy Mouse.

"At first I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed so I set up a camera to see what was going on.

"I couldn't believe it when I saw that the mouse was tidying up. He moved all sorts of things into the box - bits of plastic, nuts and bolts.

"I don't bother to tidy up now as I know he will see to it."

In footage reminiscent of the 2007 animated movie Ratatouille, the mouse picks up objects including clothes pegs, a screwdriver, plant pot trays and corks.

In one funny moment the mouse can be seen grappling with a cable tie which he eventually places in the tub.

In another sweet scene he pulls pieces of string into the box as though he were the first mate on a boat.

By the end of the video, the mouse has dramatically improved the mess on the table ready for Rodney to discover in the morning.

Rodney added: "It really was amazing to see the footage. Some of the things that it tidies away are really unusual.

"I think he would tidy my wife away if I left her in there! It's happened practically every night now for two months."
