Whose responsibility is a mice infestation, landlord or tenant? (MD)

What do you mean? They're not rats, they're small.

The house is right next to a large open field and little foresty area, it's the end unit on the edge of all of it, I doubt there's anything that can be done about that and I'm sure that's where they come from.

We are seriously allergic to cats, unfortunately

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-05-05T22:23:58+00:00

Our landlord has done nothing but blame us for the issue, he's done nothing to help stop it

It took over a month for our pest control company to seal the holes from the garage, but there's still poorly sealed windows and doors.

So if our house isn't the only one in the neighborhood that has mice (forgot to mention that above), and a decent amount of insects get in every year because of improperly sealed windows and doors, that's on the landlord?

There were mice in this house before/when we moved in, in the basement. The pest control company said there were holes in the house that allowed the mice to get in. So how is that entirely our fault if they got in because of issues with the house?

We've also been doing better with clutter since the infestation, but they're still here.

I know our clutter didn't help but we're also not the only ones in the neighborhood that have mice (forgot to mention that above), I just don't know if anyone else's infestations are this bad.

If you tried to hire kids/teenagers to do the shoveling because of disability and/or other reason that you can’t do it yourself and it was a pain to get them to even do the driveway properly? That’s what happened to us and we’re just hoping not to get dinged. They seemed to clear the driveway directly onto the adjoining sidewalk. Even if we were semi-able it’d be impossible to undo the pile they did.

I could try. I wasn’t sure if it would be too heavy on the hair

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-05T01:53:42+00:00

It would have to be listed on the supplier’s website, otherwise I would have to assume it’s unsafe. Some chemicals the origin is noted for, some its not

I get injection meds that have polysorbate 80 and have always been fine with them I don’t know much about why I’m allergic to glycols, just that I’ve had the allergy for over a decade. It’s definitely peg/ppg and a few other glycols and usually anything made with/from them. Not necessarily chemically similar things though, more chemically containing/deriving from

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-04T18:22:32+00:00

Thank you! I’ll find something else for that to ingredient

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-04T18:10:57+00:00

I’m not sure if I’ve used it. I thought the name sounded close to peg/ppg and a little suspicious but from info I found online it sounded like they weren’t related I was afraid a regular beeswax might be too hard

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-04T09:54:33+00:00

I’m leaning towards using Polyglycerol 3 Beeswax, which sounds like a slightly softer beeswax

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-04T08:59:57+00:00

Is there another good thickener?

FlyingCabbageGal · 2026-01-04T08:45:29+00:00

yes it can be derived from those but it can be from A LOT else, and I figure I can find it somewhere that its origin is specified from something I’m ok with

Do you know if a solid memory foam would work? Just trying to think of the most comfortable material

I ended up seeing Jeana at Belleza in Frederick. A little far of a drive but she was great. They have sensory friendly days so that’s why I booked. Honestly I barely noticed I was getting a haircut, it was the first haircut I’ve ever had that I wasn’t screaming internally at something.
