I have the electronic things too, one in the kitchen and one in the basement and one in the garage. I guess they don't work for me! I don't lie setting traps and haveing to pick them up to toss. I got a package of Tom Cat mouse bait , put it in the basement , and it is gone in a few days. I just spray alot of "Oust, air sanitizer " through out the house till the smell goes away.
