21 Answers
just moved into a new room but in old house, landlord has just renovated it, the building is backed onto railway bridge with overgrown weeds etc, riubbish everywhere outside . when i first moved in landlord told me there was a rat problem but he laid traps, poison etc.
last night i was talking to one other guy in digs and he said he has allready seen 2-3 mice runnign around inside house.
i am terrified of mice and rats. i have tried to cover bottom of my bedroom door so anything cannot come into my room at night .
what can i do ? i will not keep food in my room but have been told rats will come in for heat during winter. also i was told to lay salt down at my bedroom door as rats or mice will not walk on salt but i gind that hard to belive, should i go buy my own poison today ? i dont want put down traps as i could not even look at a mouse dead in trap.
help....terrified !!!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have a friend who lives near to a railway station/embankment and his house was also bothered with a gazillion mice. I think they're drawn to railway lines maybe. He got a couple of those plug in things. Hey Presto... no more problem. Obviously it doesn't kill the animal but they don't like it and move on. Another suggestion is get a cat.
I got someone in when this happened to me years ago in a previous house. I was watching tv one day when a mouse ran across floor!
Man came and put wire netting on possible places from outside they could have been using to get in. Also left cardboard boxes of poison. After that I only saw one and he was dead.
