I know the mouse and/or rat is the vehicle of Lord Ganesha, but...well, when they decide to show up in one's apartment, it doesn't look good to outsiders, especially the landlord.
I found one scampering along my ceiling tiles, only being visible when s/he scurried along the transparent panel that covered one of the fluorescent lights. (Not walking on the ceiling itself, mind you!
)
Again, seeing as mice and rats are the vehicle for Lord Ganesha, I'd like to avoid killing them if possible, but if this sighting is an indicator of more to come, I have to have ways of getting them out!
So that's why I'm asking this forum: how do I deal with mice and/or rats in my apartment without killing them? Yes, I've heard of Havahart traps (or however they're spelled), but too often the cage allows them to squeeze their small selves right out. Is there a way to either:
- ...trap them alive for later relocation?
- ...discourage them from showing up in the first place?
I don't know if anyone on this board is a pest control expert...but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask about eco-friendly ways to deal with Lord Ganesha's vehicles here.
Thanks!
