To be bloody annoyed at my folks.

[Pickles77]

Living with my folks at the moment. About a month ago my dog indicated there was a mouse living under the fridge. Dad says he's investigated and sorted it.
However today had a man come and sort some plumbing, had to get behind fridge, said mouse is still under fridge. Nothing had been done about it.
Mum said she saw it, run across the floor a few weeks ago but didn't say anything as didn't want to freak me out!!!!!!
So AIBU to think letting it stay in your house is wrong?!
It's fucking annoyed me as they are forever leaving food out! I go to bed a lot earlier than them and I get up and they've left cake out, or general food. Or food for the compost bin.
I'm fucking annoyed- its seriously unhygienic.
There is going to be a newborn here in six
Weeks are they stupid???
One mouse turns into several.
My dog only picked up on it once, he's not a typical ratter. He wouldn't kill.

Can you do anything to help sort the mouse out? Buy a trap & ask your parents to put it in the right place if you can't manage that?

Oh I'm off to get one now, just think its bloody disgusting they've just left it.

This would annoy me too. Why would you not tackle vermin when you know they pee over everything and are so unhygienic? Nothing to stop you from putting traps down if they won't though. Get a snappy trap, bait with peanut butter and put on the mouse run. You should have it within a day .

Well. You are living in their house. Their house, their mouse, their rules.

"About a month ago my dog indicated there was a mouse living under the fridge"

, sorry but I am getting a vision of the mutt standing there pointing, saying "mouse!"

However, it is their house, and it may be better if you dont like their standards of hygiene to move out into your own place.

You seldom get one mouse, though, do you? He might've dealt with the first mouse and it's another.

If you are in the late stages of pregnancy I'm not going to argue with you but YA (in my opinion) B a tiny bit U.

Oh they admitted they left it the first time

Deal with it yourself? it's only a mouse

Squeaky in my image he was thumbing towards under the fridge and miming eating cheese. Obviously he wouldn't say mouse, he's a dog

Right I'm armed!

sorry but this post made me laugh lots!

My parents have frequent visits from mice and various other pests/bugs.

Mum was laughingly telling me of when they had just sat down for toast, their lodger texted her having left earlier in a rush for work, saying she had seen a mouse crawl out of the toaster.

They still ate the fucking toast.

no such thing as one mouse. You are likely infested already.

They still can't see the unhygienic point and are tucking into a coffee cake they've left uncovered all night?!

Have a good look around to see if you can spot how it got in otherwise this situ will just keep repeating itself. Mice can get through tiny gaps - in fact if you can put a biro in the hole then mice can get through!! Air bricks are often culprits.

If I hear one more time a chorus of 'in my day' you'd think they were ancient. They're not...

Also sniggered at 'my dog indicated'. What, very discreetly and politely so as not to cause offence?

Anyway.

Lots of houses have mice. In your own home you can 'deal' with them as you see fit, but this is their house and it's up to them. And it's not the end of the world.

His clogs must have given his location.

Trust you lot to make me laugh about it.
Tis my hormones okay?

Doe they know mice are supposed to pee as they go.... so wherever the mouse has been there will be a pee trail....did that cake look nibbled

Haaahaaa I'm staying clear of the cake...

My brother thought his flat mates were stealing his cereal until he came back from holiday & poured a mouse into his bowl....

Why don't you get your parents a cat? You're sorted then.

get traps and put wire wool in any little gaps
