I've been dealing with mice in our basement for years, and frankly, you don't want either bugs or mice. Either you get creeply crawlies or the smell and feces of the mice.

Don't eat roachies, They only bite if you smeared peanut butter on your body.

They might help you eat some roaches, but you still will have to do most of the job yourself. How many roaches do you usually eat in a week?

If you ask them nicely, they may agree to split the roaches between you two.

My cats bring in mice all the time and I barely see them (probably because they don't live very long and run off and die somewhere in the house due to lack of food and water or just being killed by my cats) I had one mouse who actually found a way onto my bed by jumping onto my wall plugin and climbing up my blankets, it was actually kind of scary how good they are at climbing so you could end up waking up next to them in your bed also which wouldn't be all that fun.

On the bright side they tend to be very cute and definitely would run before biting. They are also smarter than a Hamster so I think killing them would be cruel. I'd recommend capturing them and just setting them free as you will have them crapping all over your house and probably eventually dying due to lack of water. You could always capture one and buy a cage as they do tend to make good pets as long as they don't have any diseases.

That sounds like a good idea but im pretty sure they have diseases since they came from the sewers. I won't be killing any mices i just can't bring myself to kill one but i would murder roaches without mercy and regret.

They dont eat roches as far as I know, but are they mice? or rats? there are big ass rats in my house, or were, tho they didnt bothered me much, unless if I saw them near my food, that would drive me crazy. anyway small lizards are good against roches, not rats or mices.

there is no proof that rats carry diseases though. I've had huge rats, from the sewers, and no one in my house got sick. and yes I also cant kill them, I remember once when a small rat got trapped under my bookshelf, and it would scratch it relentlessly, attempting to get out, It just got the best of me and I moved the shelve so that it could run away. my dog ate it 2 days ago, but hey, at least it wasnt me.

Get a gekko to keep the roaches in check. Failing that, roach spray is the way to go. As far as mice, a mouse trap or a glue trap is what is needed to get rid of them. The mouse trap is more humane though. It kills them quickly.

Mice and rats shlt and piss everywhere near constantly as they have little bowel and bladder control. They're equally unsanitary. In fact, if you're having a problem with the big roaches as opposed to smaller, german type of cockroaches, rodents are probably even more unsanitary by comparison. Your best bet is to get some roach spray and bait stations and go to town on 'em. Or get a professional to treat your place if it's really bad.

There are actually two sizes of glue traps, one for mice and the other larger one for rats and yes, they catch rats really well.
