You know this is bad karma right?? They like grey hairs. Get rid of one and they come back with vengeance. Stop killing them!

I think there are humane traps but I'm not sure they are too effective. Op get a cat, I don't know if it's an old wives tale but the smell of cat is supposed to scare them off

That's a mouse. But rats don't always have horrid teeth. I had to dispose of 3(!) last week that were just lying dead in the garden when I woke up. And weirdly, they were adorable except for the tails.

I understand being afraid of rodents. I used to freak out at the thought of one being in my house. It's taken me years to get to the point where I can manage to dispose of a deceased one, and even then I'm quivering.

We’ve had mice and tried humans mouse traps. They managed to eat the food and not get caught. The killer mouse traps are horrible but you have to get rid somehow. We got a cat in the end.

I agree a cat is the only way to stop them coming back.

look ratty me too, though hard to judge scale. I had a humane trap and caught a mouse almost daily, we used to just let it go outside and it came back. was tiny.

Mice are much smaller

A mouse would not be as long as the tail on that beast!

That is a juvenile rat. I suggest a pest control service to sort out the problem. There will be more!

Here is the mouse we had, it's hard to see scale but it was about an inch long really small.

I’m pretty sure that’s a small rat.
