Natural Pest Control

Could I borrow a cat for a few minutes (or a trap)? our downstairs neighbor texts. She has discovered a mouse in her apartment. 

I briefly consider the logistics of getting one or both of the cats down to her apartment, but finally decide that it would just be too stressful for them (and probably for me).

Later, when she’s in our kitchen getting a trap, I tell her the story of the time we had roaches and our landlord, instead of hiring an exterminator, told us to get geckos and just let them run loose to eat the roaches.
