Little Mouse
Are women more scared of mice than men?

Recent studies have shown that the number of mice in our cities is escalating at an alarming rate. Mice are popping up in more and more places and even the Woman’s Hour office is not safe from the little furry pests. So what can you do about them and why is it that women invariably are more scared of them than men?

Dr Lucy Atcheson, psychologist and phobia expert joins Jenni to lay our fears to rest and we’ll be finding out some of the best ways to get rid of the little unwanted visitors from Martina Flynn, deputy president of the British Pest Control Association.
