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!

 

 

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.
