The Huntington News reports on rats and mice running roughshod over Huskies. One student was bitten, another reports putting towels under her doors to try to keep one hallway mouse from getting around, a third describes the situation of students competing for the best rooms only to get rodents as "ironic."
Dan Miller reports stumbling onto the lair of the mouse in his house:
While cleaning the basement, we found a rolled-up carpet remnant with several little mustard packs inside, nibbled open and sucked dry.
Our little friend had to climb up on top of a condiment-supply table, carry the pack of mustard with his teeth and scurry to the other side of the basement.
At BU, students freak out and sleep in common areas.
A more mature Doug Haslam uses a different technique: a cat and a small piece of cheese:
We hear noises, and it sounds like a mouse, but I don't want it to be a mouse. I want it to be the fridge, even though that would be much more expensive. Actually, it sounds like a mouse that has gained the ability to use tiny tools, like a saw or nail gun.
The Daily Free Press informs us that even BU is not immune from mice:
"We didn't realize there was a mousetrap underneath our radiator. A mouse got caught and then started burning underneath the radiator. So basically, it was really, really gross."
Eileen begins to ponder purchasing some boa constrictors for her apartment. Before it comes to that, however, she dons her Ninja hazmat suit and declares all out war on the vermin in her vicinity.

But at least one customer doesn't like how the store is stocking pink mice babies in bags of birdseed.
The house Yup lives in has squirrels (among other problems). Jessi also reports squirrels, but she's still enjoying hers.
Krissy finds out the hard way her place has mouse issues:
Dan reports he's now advertising on craigslist for somebody willing to lend him a cat for a month.
If somebody agrees, let's hope the cat isn't named Tom.
