We have mice in our place.
Naively we thought it was just one. Scared the living hell out of me. I hate it. Caught it in a conventional trap (sorry, not humane - but it did the deed). Put the trap up again just in case there were more, and then today came back to see the cheese we had put in was gone but nothing was trapped.
We have a high-pitch device in the kitchen. Should I get one for my room as well? What else can be done?
My philosophy is that I am paying rent, the mouse isn't. I shouldn't have to sleep in my housemates room cause I am disgusted by it. Also I don't want it to chew through my stuff - and generally I just hate hate hate having it around. It freaks me out, and puts me on edge.
Please help

Peppermint oil and pepper are supposed to repel them I think. You can sprinkle them along the skirting boards.
They're a bugger to get rid of though..especially in winter and in terraced houses.
That's the best way, I think =]
