They are scary and irritating at the same time because they can cut any important wires and can destroy your Sofa and other important thing like that. We just saw a small mouse in the house and somehow managed to get that out of the house but that took around an hour. Whats your reaction when you see a mouse in your home? How do you manage to get these out of your home?

I think I would let the cat of my neighbor in and let him do the dirty job.

@Butterfingers I don't have mice here and thank God it's like that ... so who likes rodents? And if I had, so I don't know, I'd probably set up a mousetrap

I guess you haven't experienced any big ones which I saw months ago and they can even tear a big plastic bottle used to carry oil

You feel awesome when you see a rat in the house. Apart from damaging your important belongings, they also meddle with your pooja place. They are fond of flowers offered to God and in the process disturb everything there. That was a big menace we had some time back. We got rid of them by giving them rat cake.

Well, when there are mice/rats around our house the bigger danger the snakes are not far away. Depend on the surroundings, how to get rid of them.

I have two guards here and I'm pretty sure they'll do the job and take care of the rest. They can either play it or take as a meal later.

The only thing on my mind when I find a mouse in the house is to hunt it down and kill it. We recommend that you keep a cat at home if you want your house to be safe from rats.

My father is a great hoarder. Its been at least 5 years since we did a serious cleaning of home. Rats do come. I do panic, and we use those sticky pads. They get stuck in those, and we are able to get rid of them. But yes, as long as they are around, I feel more uncomfortable. I cannot be like all living beings are god's creation, and this is god's mount.

Yes they are all God's creation but we need to kick these out so they don't damage things which are costly

You're asking this question too late because some months ago my neighbours gave me two cats. Should there ever be a mouse in my flat, they'd take care of it. :-)

we have a dog (my daughters dog) that hunts them. So when I see a mouse I try to humanely catch it and get it out of the house alive!
