Hi,

So there's been mice in my apartment. I have a couple traps but so far none have worked. I also have a cat and he actually caught one but it escaped I think lol. I am seriously stressed and having trouble sleeping because I have now seen a few of them. The biggest stressor is my roommate/landlady doesn't believe me that I have seen them. I am planning to move out for the summer and probably find a new place in the fall, but I still have until end of May and have a lot of exams and finals to focus on. I am started to feel very paranoid/unsafe especially at night when they are active.

I definitely need to mention it to my landlady again tomorrow and maybe just buy some more traps myself too. I feel a lot of anxiety about bringing it up to her again because of her defensive response (and my past trauma/anxiety history), but I know I need to.

@Daydreamer47 My parents had mice in their garage. They tried a few different things for bait, peanut butter seemed to work the best.

Good luck!

Mice - cute as pets, ick as wild rodents.

@AffyAvo Thanks! I bought some peanut butter today. I agree; I am a vet student actually so I think they are cute lol but also don't like them being in my space. I got a combination of "catch and release" traps and snap traps.
