Compromice: The Unwanted Companion Species

Based on the paper Compromice: The Unwanted Companion Species, the KIT serves as a follow-up. The paper explores various methods for observing and addressing the presence of unwanted companion species in homes in an attentive manner. The paper critically examines common-sense thoughts and current perceptions of mice as pests in the Western world, along with the origins of this understanding. The research employs various techniques, such as journaling and countermapping, to observe mouse behavior and locate them within the home.

Additionally, these methods help in monitoring the behavior of the residents.

 

The KIT is designed for individuals who seek to better understand and address mice in a humane and patient manner. Its goal is not necessarily to ensure the mouse leaves but rather to promote a shift in behavior towards such mice. It serves as a tool for gaining new insights into one's environment alongside its living inhabitants.
