As a renter, the good times just keep on rolling…

We rent.

I’m certain there are mice in our garage, as there are in most garages. They are probably in there right, a team of them using a dust bunny to play a soccer game! Nevertheless, I cannot imagine ever calling any landlord about a mice “problem” in a garage.

Also, in our current home we have previously had flies problem, and ant problem.

We solved those issues ourselves. We don’t have time to screw around waiting for landlord. It is quicker to solve issues ourselves.

Now if there was a termite problem, yes we would direct landlord to solve that.

You have to pick your battles carefully. Otherwise you just become nuisance to landlord.

Words without action is no help. Marion, what’s your address, I will send you 5 free mouse traps that I used in the past. I totaled 38 mice killed in action. In fact, my garage doesn’t have any mouse since and I think they migrated to my neighbor (very upscale!!!).

No obligation, sastifaction guaranteed, free installation too.

Marion–I am a fellow female who inherited a phobia about rodents. This is because my mother, who grew up during the Depression in Chicago, often woke up with mice or rats in her bed. The houses my parents bought when they came to California in the 1950s-60s were in new developments — the first in Clairemont, the second in San Carlos. My mom was so afraid of mice/rats that if she saw one in the house when we were not yet old enough to go to school, she would insist we sit outside on the front porch and wait for my dad to get home from work…sometimes this was 7 or 8 hours.

When I lived in an upscale apartment a few years ago, mice/rats got into our units via the lovely palm trees. The LL paid for an exterminator post haste because none of us were doing anything wrong. I am among the few on this thread who think your landlord should pay for this, as well. I own now, and if I see any evidence of mice, I am going to trap them and get my best friend (a male) to look at the traps each day. Your son should do this for you. Use peanut butter, not cheese. So far, no rodents. But if I get them, I will happily become a bitter cat lady!

Marion –
You sure get all the men going on this site! BTW, you should be nicer to HLS, he’s actually quite charming.

As a woman, I agree rodents are awful! Back in Seattle I had a problem with rats in my shed. I didn’t realize storing bird seed was a rat magnet. One day in early Spring I went into the shed to get some sluggo and a freakin rat jumped out of the container at me – I screamed and ran away as my 5 year old son laughed and thought the little “mouse” was cute.

Anyway, I certainly understand your desire to have the landlord deal with the issue, but unfortunately rodents are a part of life around here. A poster above mentioned that you might want to pick you battles – I would agree with them. Is this what you want to battle your landlord on?

Renting does suck, but so does owning right now 🙂
