Do house rats bite...not the pet kind?

Question

i just seen a mouse run from behind my xbox360 and i'm freakin out my dad said he can buy some poison will the mouse try to attack me or will it climb up on my bed and bit me in my sleep i'm freakin out wit now i dunno why theres rats it my house its usually so clean but any way should i b scared it will attack me in my sleep

Answer 1

First of all, the mouse is more afraid of you than you are of it. Your house may be clean, but if a mouse can get in to search for good, it will..thats why they go for the food set in the traps.  Sleep on the couch if you can if it will make you feel better.

Answer 2

They have teeth, can bite. You are bigger than them you can remove them.

Answer 3

of course!!!

Answer 4

yes rats bite

Answer 5

Well, for starters, was it a mouse or a rat?

If it was a mouse, it will not bite you

If it was a rat, it will not bite you, but you must get them out of your house soon.  They carry disease and can be threatening if they feel cornered

Answer 6

Yes, and they carry diseases.

It is highly unlikely that it will bite you in your sleep though.  They are afraid of humans and won't seek you out to bite you in your sleep.  If anything, they'll run and hide from you.

Answer 7

prob if you try and pick it up lol be careful cause they carry all kinds of diseases

xx

Answer 8

Diseases kill rodents quickly. If you see one running around, 99.99% of the time it will not be diseased. Mice and rats do not carry rabies.

Mice will not climb your bed and bite you. Rats usually won't bite.

Clean houses won't deter an animal that gets in but can't find a way out.

Poison is no fun. The rodent gets the poison and dies in your wall and stinks up the house. Or the rodent dies and the neighbor's dog eats it and then the neighbor's dog dies. Try a live trap.

Answer 9

They will likely bite you if you try to get them or frighten them, but they won't seek you out just to bite you. ;P

Answer 10

Yeah, there could crawl all over you in your sleep,but probably wont. and they could have rabies but its very unlikely.  They dont like attack thou. If you want to get a small tent and camp out in your living room, you would be perfectly safe and worry free :)

Answer 11

Yes, they can bite. You should get rid of them soon. They just get worse if you don't deal with them quickly.

Answer 12

If they arent pets, they are dangerous and will bite.

Answer 13

No, they will only bite, if you try to pick them up, but you do need to get rid of them cause the do carry diseases and can do harm to your family and other pets.

Answer 14

yes. both mice and rats bite! and its not just a soft bite, it REALLY hurts, your dad is right, you should use some mce and rat poison and/or mouse trap.

i highly doubt (i dont think) that it would bite u in your sleep, they usually run around to find food, don;t stress, just be calm and everything will work out.

hope this helped.

Answer 15

yes they do
