I have a severe phobia to mice, to the point of going into hysterics when seeing one. We know have our second batch of mice. I saw one last night and screamed. I had to call my husband at work to calm me down. I barely slept last night. I hate this.

We have mice too. They moved into the walls and ceiling when it started getting cold.

I don't have a mouse phobia but I can see why some people would. Their nocturnal habits tend to bother people. Do you know why you have a mouse phobia?

We've had them move in since the cold,too. I'm not scared of them but I don't like them. They make such a mess out of stuff. I can't use poison or traps because I worry about my dogs getting into them, but my little dog kills them if she sees them. She has done a lot to get rid of them. And she is a Llasa Apso not a Rat Terrier.

No idea. I grew up on a farm and we always had mice. We also had cats to deal with them.

We have some kind of trap they go into to eat the peanut butter and it shuts closed on them so my husband doesn't have to see it or touch it when he disposes of them. This latest mouse or mice are avoiding the trap, we have an ultrasonic noise thing that they are supposed to hate and I haven't seen it but it is there.
