Hi All, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.

Has anyone ever used an electronic mice repellent? Did it work, for how long, how much and where did you buy it?

I'm considering buying it if it works. Any recommendations please?

Thanks.

I've got three in the attic... two cheap ones and an expensive, more sophisticated one. They worked for a couple of months but then the mice were back. I resorted to old fashioned 'Little Nipper' traps baited with chocolate.

A cat seems to work best in the house itself.

I came down the other morning to find a little dead mouse on my dogs bed!

What a good boy, not sure if there are more, they dont seem to be taking the chocolate spread bate so need to find something different.

Found droppings which i've cleaned up because not sure if they're from that one or another!

i hate mice, once they get in they stay we've had them for ages!:(

Ive got something in my kitchen!

My husband puts his work bag in the cubby hole under the stairs and puts his fruit in it ready fo the next day.

He noticed it had been nibbled so we laid a banana out deliberatly and it has been nibbled about an inch over night. I am PETRIFIED!!!!!!!!!:eek:

What do I do now please moneysavers???

Husband is going to empty cubby hole later, I am going nowhere near it!

I have noticed there is a little hole by a pipe, big enough for mouse, but it leads under the floor not outside in the garage. Does that mean Ive got a blimmin family under the floor? If so how do I get rid?

I'm not sure whether to plug the hole (but then I will have a mouse cemetrary under my floor!!) or kill the blighters with a trap.??

It sounds likes you have a mouse in your house . Place a baited trap (not humane, they are useless) close to the opening where it's coming from - don't poison it as it will probably go under your floorboards to die and then rot and stink :eek:

But how do I know it's only one? I could have a whole community under there!!

I had one in my lounge a few months ago :eek:, once I knew where it was coming from I put the trap there which killed it. I then put another one there and left it a couple for weeks but it never went off so I'm certain I only had the one, thank god!

Put a few down to be sure, you can get them in packs of 2 from B&Q for a couple of quid.

At least you know they like bananas so you'll have no problem baiting them.
