Okay, so starting last week my roommate noticed some mouse droppings in her room. Last night she awoke to one scratching around in her waste paper basket.
2 large construction projects on the street have picked up steam as of late, which is what I assume is causing them to come into our house (we keep the place very clean, with no food laying around)

Has anybody experienced this problem and can offer any suggestions on what we can do (other then calling an exterminator who will set traps)

  1. Mice have nothing to do with how clean you do or don’t keep your apartment, unfortunately.

    Is your aversion to traps that you don’t want to kill the mice? I’ve had good luck with glue traps. They get stuck but don’t die.

  2. If you visit the OT there are the usual suspects trying to give away more cats again. Maybe they can pay you to take on off their hands and you will get rid of the mice for free.

  3. What bob said! 🙂 But I said it first, bob!!

    Rats are scary- mice I feel sorry for. I seem to be a sucker for 4 legs and full body hair. But we can loan you a cat (MM has 1 or 2 great mousers).

  4. If you’re not into the cats then I can recommend those rat/mouse zappers.

    Although they electric shock them to death, there’s no visual damage so you can get the bodies stuffed and posed to reenact famous scenes.
