Your update was not offensive to me. I was glad you shared your knowledge and experience. I did not know they did that to themselves and the visual you gave made me feel reaaaal bad for the mouses.
Now that you have shared your knowledge and experience with me I can make a wiser choice and I appreciate your having given me that advantage. I am leaning toward the electronic things. (I guess the sound keeps them away and doesn't exterminate them?????)

I've always heard cats can't live on mice. I have 4 cats and had 3 others in the past and I always kept them in my house, fed,cared for,declawed and spayed/neutered. just the way cats should be treated, in a humane way.

When I was in real estate in Fl. and we had a problem with mice, rats etc. we called pest control. I wish I could remember the name of the product they use to get rid of them. It kills them and they literally dry up and leave no smell etc. You might check with a local pest control.

Just read on the Florida Agriculture website about rodents and traps and ways to keep them out of your house and barn. One thing they said was that the noise repellers work well on roaches and waterbugs and other insects but have no affect on rodents. Maybe that's just for Florida?

I have a mouse problem also. I purchased a bottle of Peppermint essential oil. I put a few drops of the oil on cotton balls and put them throughout the house. Especially where mice have been sighted. The mice hate peppermint! I love the smell it gives in my home and the mice sightings are non-existent. I reapply the oil once a week.
