I have a suspicion that I may have a mice problem after hearing tapping in the walls and ceiling. I had once encountered a mouse on my stairway but took little caution from it. Now I am really worried and particularly for the parrot's safety.
I would prefer to call an exterminator to take care of things than dealing with traps and dead mouse bodies, etc. However, I'm worried that exterminators will use poison which could harm my parrot. Does anyone know about dealing with mice in a parrot/pet household?
The ceiling here is a drop ceiling with removable tiles which could make access for extermination quite easy. Do you think if poison were used above my ceiling, that it would still a threat to my parrot? Would the fumes of it traveling around or any other factors (perhaps bugs) possibly spread the poison to my parrot? Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
If it weren't for the parrot I'd have less reservations about just getting it taken care of.
