Manchester students claim mice are 'running over their feet' and 'living in sofas' at university halls

Students have claimed mice have been 'running over their feet' and 'living in sofas' at university halls in Manchester. A group of eight friends, all living at Birley Vine halls in Hulme, first spotted a mouse in their kitchen back on February 7.

Since first noticing the rodents, student Louis Walton has claimed his flatmates have attempted to keep the apartment clean and move food from the bottom row of cupboards, but have been forced to buy quick microwave meals to avoid using the kitchen.

However in response, Manchester Metropolitan University has said it has been working to resolve the issues, with additional bin removal services and cleaning products offered to students and that a recent survey indicated there is now 'no pest activity'.
