Tufts Tackles Mouse Problem

March 13, 2008 05:56 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

Tufts University, home of the Jumbos, has been wrestling with a mouse problem in dorms all winter, the Tufts Daily reports. While infestations are an annual problem, this winter's invasion is so severe that school officials have begun discussing preventive measures for next year.

In one of the dorms, one room has reported catching seven mice. Students in another room set four mousetraps, all of which went off the first night they were in place. "Now there's just so many [mice]," said a resident. "You'll be trying to sleep and hear a mouse crawling through your desk."
