Paging pest control to the departure gates!

A pair of mice were spotted hanging out inside Vancouver International Airport recently, and it turns out it wasn’t the first time a rodent has been spotted inside the terminal.

And while most rodent encounters are met with disgust and terror, the Twitter user seemed to take a more lighthearted approach.

YVR was quick to respond on Twitter, “Oh my…thank you for the heads up! We’ll notify our team members to attend to this as soon as possible.”

A statement provided to Daily Hive on Tuesday says the airport encourages passengers or employees who see wildlife to let the Operations Centre know so they can investigate.

“As BC’s largest building, with hundreds of doors and windows, wildlife makes its way inside the terminal from time to time. We continually work with our partners, including our food and beverage operators and pest control, to regularly monitor and address this aspect of our operation,” the statement reads in part.
