Today my parents called me to help them get rid of the mouse that got in their house a few days ago. My mom didn't even wanted to be in the same room with the mouse. When I asked her why is she afraid of it, she said she isn't afraid but disgusted. In the end I caught the poor thing with a mouse trap. What about you? Can you stand the mice?

I like mice; but, do not want the wild ones in my house. If my cats don't catch them first; we put out the traps that catch them alive and then we drop them off on our way to work in a nice area 2 miles away from our house where there are no nearby houses. If we can rescue a mouse from our cats, we just let them go outside and they NEVER come back in after the the fear they have that our cats might catch them again!

Unfortunately, they came into being several years ago because they are inexpensive and disposable. Most of them are simply flat rectanges of carbord with glue on one side and a protective paper cover that you peel off before they are set out to catch the mouse. Once the mouse has been caught, you simply toss them in the trash. Cheap, effective, no bait required, and disposable; but, torture for any small creature that goes across them - mice, lizards, etc.

Well, I hate mice because they will disturb my sleeping at night and they're dirty. they will bring some bacteria which make us ill. I know there're some pet mouse and I like them but I won't have them at home.

We had mice a few years ago and I hated it, we ended up getting a cat to get the wretched things out of the house. I don't think I am affraid of them as such it's just that they don't belong in my house, eating the bread from my cupboard. I am the same with the gekko's and spiders around here; if they agree to leave me alone then I will leave them alone. Nature has a place and that is outside...not in my house lol!

I like mice, as long as they are not in my house as pests. I like them where they are on fields or in the forest, and I like hamsters and other mice that are kept as pets. It happened once to have a mouse in my room. I caught him with a mouse trap, and I released him on a field near the town.

I can`t say that i am afraid of them, but i scream when i see one, and i panic. I don`t like them, they are so ugly, and disgusting, it makes my skin crawl, when i see them.
