Question

Is it possible to keep the mouse as a pet?

Community Answer

It is, but you'd be better off releasing it, as it's a wild animal, and you could get a domesticated mouse at a pet store.

Question

Does baking soda help get rid of mice?

Community Answer

Yes, baking soda can repel mice. The most effective way to use baking soda to repel mice is to sprinkle a line around the perimeter of your house (outside). You will need to reapply the line after any rains. Luckily, baking soda is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased locally.

Question

I found a mouse in my messy bedroom and now I am scared to clean my room. What should I do?

Community Answer

Wear gloves and covering clothes so any mouse doesn't touch or bite you, which is an issue as the mouse may have communicable diseases.
