I don’t know about keeping the away,
but we use Rat Zappers. If you place them along the wall you don’t have
to bait them most mice run right in and get electrocuted. It is easier to
clean up than traditional traps and you don’t have the risk of the mice
dying in the building that you have with poison.
Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] help with
keeping mice at bay
Hello,
We have a constant problem with mice in our house –
more in the colder months than now – and have tried various tactics
(traps, audio things, herbs, etc). We also have an outbuilding, which is
a log cabin, and houses weaving equipment. As you can imagine whatever may get
left on the loom gets eaten in short order especially when the weather turns
cool. I’m wondering if anyone has discovered any “magic
bullets” for keeping the mice away?? I’ve seen a product sort
of like “deer off” only for mice (& other such critters) and
wondered if it was at all effective.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
