mine still bring gifts and I chase about trying to catch them which I mostly do then release them in the garden! OH thinks I am mad but I cannot kill them!
Mmmmm! ??? Would you feel & act the same way about rats Aly ? I poison them I'm afraid. If you keep chickens you will surely have these filthy visitors at some point. If you don't kill them they breed (which they do with great vigour).
My house is made of wychert (a mixture of a kind of clay & straw) so I have to be very careful about what lives inside the sheltering walls as any holes start threatening it's stability. It is very expensive to repair as it needs a specialist builder & there are few of these.

probably but no rats here as the farmers shoot them. We once had a chap looking like a Mexican bandit who came in search of a large rat reported by our neighbour. He went down to the stream at the back of us where the cows drink and we took off out of the way! Heard he had caught it and it was a bit like a fishermans estimate lol
I am just a big softie but I do swot flies!
