Answer 1

the rodents are in your house for a reason. make sure you don't have any spilled rice or cereal or food accessible to them to feed from. keep clothes off the floor as rats, mice and spiders can live in washing left on the flor, even for just a few hours.

you can call a pest control company who will rid you of the rodents.

they are not pets, they are dirty disease ridden rodents.

if you want a pet rat or mouse visit your local pet store, they are cheap and low maintenance.

Answer 2

if you want to try to catch them you can use those cage traps and before you start handling them make sure your rabies shot is up to date and make sure you wear gloves so they don't bite or scratch you.  when you catch them and want to keep them you should take them to a vet or to an animal shelter and ask someone if they're okay to keep as pets.(not all rats and mice can be pets) if they're not you could ask whoever gave you the information what you should do with them.      

Answer 3

DO NOT TRY TO KEEP THEM AS PETS!!!

Wild rats and mice can carry diseases which could make you SERIOUSLY SICK!! Do the poor creatures a favour and set them free outside.

Answer 4

i would not keep any rats or mice  you find in your home as pets... if you are going to get one as a pet go to a pet shop just because you have no idea what kind of diseases the current ones in your home might have

if you are buying rat poison they are not going to be very healthy and will die soon since rat poison contains arsenic in it...
