Jasper, the resident emotional-support cat in Boulevard Apartments Tower A room 200, had pounced again.

After catching a mouse, Jasper “was playing with it and then killed it,” Olivia Keibler, a resident of the room, said.

This catch was one of many mice the residents of room 200 say they have been fending off since they moved in last May.

When asked what measures the university has taken to help diminish the mice infesting room 200, Lou Corsaro, a university spokesperson, said, “We have been actively working to both mitigate and determine the cause for the issues in [room 200].”

Point Park recently announced to residents of Boulevard that it had changed its extermination contractor, from Erlich Pest Control to Fox Pest Control, and that students should expect a room check sometime on Tuesday, Feb. 10.

“Student Life is in contact with and assisting the impacted students,” Corsaro added. No other officials with the university or Student Life responded to a request for comment. The Globe also reached out to city animal control officials for comment, but none were available.

Only one other room in Tower A, which asked to remain anonymous, told The Globe they had seen mice in their room. Residents of that room reported seeing a few mice within the past month, a stark difference to room 200’s 16.

The residents of room 200 say resolving the issue with the university has been frustrating. Living among the mice, too, has been exhausting, Erin Witnauer, a student living in room 200, said.

“I have missed my morning class at least four times now,” she said, “because of how many times I’ve woken up in the middle of the night because of a mouse.”

Witnauer and Keibler said they’ve both slept on their living room couch to avoid the mice.

Over winter break, Student Life offered to deep clean room 200, but Witnauer said it then walked the offer back, claiming there were too many items in the room to effectively clean it.

“You can move what you need to move as long as it’s clean,” Witnauer said. She and Keibler resolved to clean the apartment themselves with the help of their families.Witnauer and Keibler live in what seems to be the hardest-hit room of the affected apartment, and have nearly 30 sticky traps out to catch mice.

And they said Student Life advised them to get more.

“Just add more traps,” Witnauer recalled one official at Student Life saying.

The room itself appeared to be clean: Surfaces like desks and tables were wiped down, floors were swept, and snacks and other food were sealed away in air-tight plastic containers.

Without a clear solution for the infestation, Witnauer and Keibler were offered emergency housing in a room on the seventh floor, but said they declined to move because they didn’t want to be separated.

Witnauer said it felt like Student Life was backing them into a corner.

“It’s kind of like, ‘okay, well, you’re choosing to live here,’” she said, “‘So, if the issue keeps happening, that’s on you, not me.’”

The mice frequently leave feces and urine in the room, which both residents said has destroyed some of their personal belongings.

Witnauer and Keibler estimated they have lost hundreds of dollars in items destroyed by the mice, noting they have thrown out clothes, bed sheets, a book bag and stuffed animals.

They said Student Life only offered to cover the cost of food eaten by mice, sealed containers to hold the food, and cleaning supplies.

The CDC advises people to avoid contact with rodents and rodent droppings, so as not to contract hantavirus. Stirring up rodent feces or urine, the CDC says, poses a significant risk for contracting the deadly illness.

They also said they have had to dispatch trapped mice themselves on several occasions, which Witnauer said felt “disgusting.” Public safety took care of a trapped mouse on at least one occasion.

Another resident of the apartment, and Jasper the cat’s owner, Morgan Chernay, said she felt frustrated that nothing has changed since the residents of room 200 first reported the mice in May.

“People say they’ve been seeing mice on campus for years,” Chernay said. “How is this not handled by now? How do you not have a consistent, good company?”
