I have developed a mice phobia - anyone else???

Live in an old terrace house and was always aware of the presence of mice - could hear them from time to time. However , recently their activity has increased - they got into a cupboard and could hear them in one ceiling. I have had pest control out to address it, but in the meantime I have become absolutely terrified!!! Every time I hear a noise in the evening I think it’s a mouse. I am terrified one will run over me at night.

It sounds like you’re having an entirely normal, human response. I’ve had field mice in my house a few years back and it was stressful!

Has pest control been out to see you yet?

Mice are beautiful, friendly creatures, the only concern from them is what they’re doing behind those walls, yes they can damage property which is why they need to be dealt with but they won’t cause you any direct harm.

If you weren’t scared of them before, why was that? What’s suddenly made you fear them?
