Today, I discovered that catching fewer mice in the traps I'd put out doesn't mean my pest problem is getting resolved. It means that rats have moved in. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I set up a mouse trap to kill the rodent plaguing my kitchen. While lying in bed, I heard an unmistakable snap, and ran to see what I'd caught. The mouse trap was missing. I now have a large, angry, and possibly dying animal running around my house. FML
Today, I found out that both of my cats are afraid of mice. So far I've seen them run and hide from 3 different mice who've recently invaded my apartment. FML
Today, I set a trap to catch a mouse that ran across my foot. Not only did the trap shut on my finger twice, but I watched the mouse run over the trap without it snapping shut. I guess I have a new roommate. FML
Today, I went to empty a mousetrap, only to discover that SOMETHING had eaten the dead mouse's brain and eyeballs. I reset the trap, only to find a half-dead mouse struggling to get out an hour later. My office is like its own tiny little horror movie. FML
Today, I discovered that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. FML
Today, I found out that I have mice because my landlady got rid of the community cats that were keeping them outside, and apparently my cats aren't taking care of them. I found out when I turned on my oven and my apartment was filled with an awful smell that turned out to be burning mouse crap. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally moved in with me, after being long distance for months. Our apartment just became infested with mice. FML
Today, our rodent problem was taken care of. I discovered this when my cat projectile-vomited a soggy, death-scented wad of dark fur and tiny organs onto the couch. FML
Today, I checked over the pictures on my night-cam to see if my cats are really going on our kitchen counters. As soon as I'd seen the first picture, I realized that this whole time that my cats hadn't been going on it. It was a rat. FML

Just pretend The Littles live in your house, even though they're not so little.

Rats are very intelligent, reason why they use rats instead of humans.

Maybe more intelligent than you, #20

I'm pretty sure they use rats for testing because its more of a controversy to use humans. i mean, just a hunch.

They also use rats instead of dogs to find land mines (they're extremely intelligent and lightweight) and do some other really cool stuff, maybe that is what #20 was referring to?

There's actually a very simple way to get rid of mice, rats and roaches: Clean your shit! Seriously. It's bits of food and dust that feed the pest food chain. Get rid of those, your pests will leave. It's really that simple.

no its not that simple if the OP lives in an older building where people lived there before them.

I had a lazy cat who'd let mice run past it.

Sounds like it's time to get a professional in there instead of do-it-yourself traps.
