Rentless Roommate: Getting Rid of Rodents When You’re a Gal Living Alone

Yeah, rodents suck. But the minute you see something, be ready to take action and call your landlord with the quickness. Know that the longer you take freaking out and crying to moms on the phone, the more time you’re leaving for your new beloved vermin to act a fool in your place. Get in touch with your landlord and try and see what can be done to fill all random holes and large cracks that you can see around your place, and keep other doors in your spot closed (especially the bedroom). Now, what should you do about the mouse (or mice) already in? You could always get a cat, but that’s another mess in itself. There are an array of options, here’s what may and may not work.

An Electronic Mice Repellent Plug-In

Who ever thought you could get excited about mouse prevention! Well this electronic mouse repellent device is like Glade without the fresh scent and instead of bringing people in, it’s supposed to make mice want to stay away. These fancy mouse repellents are supposed to send out high-frequency sound waves to mice that sound like what alarms and jackhammers sound like to us human beings. This type of repellent is said to be good for people with pets and kids who don’t want to leave obnoxious smells and poisons meant for the pests around to be chewed up by the wrong person. As always, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll never see a mouse again, because it could find an area that the electronic device isn’t in and nest–but hey, it’s definitely worth a try.
