That's really sad some of you guys don't give a shit about wildlife. I would never use that shit. I don't think they should be able to sell it really. And I'm no tree hugger.

Thats pretty harsh words for some of us that are slightly ignorant to the situation. My brother was a pest tech. Im simply going by what i know works. I love all life and ill read your post, thank you!

I much prefer the electronic deterrent, it just runs them off instead of poisoning them and having them die in your walls lol.

I know several people who swear by them and have used them successfully for years. When we tried them in our old house they did absolutely nothing. It almost seemed like our mouse problem got worse. I dunno if it’s a species thing or what. My friends that recommended them used them in a country setting but they did fuck all for our city mice.

So mice shitting on your stuff you'll deal with? How about damage? Like the moab thread? That could be a fire......loss of life.....yours, your kids......is that ok? I respect all things, but when it comes down to it poison works.

Ya, I'm totally fine with mouse shit all over and them destroying my house and making everything unsafe, WTF?

No dude. He needs to find where they're getting in and seal those areas first, or they'll just keep coming in and causing more damage. Then he needs to eliminate the ones left. Traps have worked fine for hundreds of years.

If you must use poisons, I would hope you used them responsibility to prevent any other animals from eating the poisoned mice.

I have three in my home and the dogs don't seem to notice it. If I plug it in they don't react. I had my doubts when I bought them back in Missouri. I had problems with mice getting in my garage and messing up wiring harnesses on summer fun rides that were in winter storage. Once I put the device in the garage the problem ceased. I picked up a couple more to put around the house and haven't seen a mouse since. When I moved to Colorado I didn't unpack them right away and we have a lot of field mice out here. It was evident with mouse droppings in silverware drawers and shit like that. Disgusting. I put the rodent eliminators in service and cleaned up the mouse evidence, haven't seen signs since.

FWIW mine were from Sharper image. They have a pet friendly mode and a normal mode. I am not using the pet friendly mode and like I said my dogs don't seem to mind it at all.

I think something to remember is that not all those electronic devices are created equal. I have some older ones at the lake and they just don't work but as I say, they are old and bought by my grandfather. I am sure there are good ones and bad ones, I am looking for some of the good ones myself. That said when I am not at the cottage I probably have 40 or more traps set all over the place. I blanket the place every fall when the mice start looking for shelter and don't get any damage, just a few mouse corpses in fall and spring. I am not a fan of pesticides, the mice will eat that stuff and either die someplace in my home or go outside and get eaten by something else. Since I cannot control what they do when they eat poison I won't use it. At least with snap traps you know where the bodies are.

In his situation he may have multiple places they come in and they usually do. That can be behind walls and in areas that are hard or not able to get to. And that can be expensive and not necessarily happining over night to fix.

I'm dealing with a refinish in my basement and have found a bunch of places that you'd never get to without major demo. It's adding expense.

Also if you have a lot of square feet.....not just your home but anywhere you don't want mice. How many traps can you check every day?

There's lots of reasons to use poison.

I have two cats. 6 of those blue plug in things. The mice don’t care about the sound or the cats. Electrician said based on the size of turds, the cats are more likely afraid of the apparently very large mice/rats than they are of the cats. You guys don’t understand if I don’t get rid of them this will only continue to happen. It could cause a fire next time. It arced right on insulation. I don’t want to kill anything. I don’t even kill bugs. But these mice are causing me more problems than I think they are worth keeping around, unfortunately. I love animals. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Also brother yes there is a decent little hole in my floor right by my wall, where I cut a hole out stupidly back in the day and shoved my duct work down it. I need to fill that hole in because that’s the only major one I can think of.

Hell ya man. Seal that shit up. Your nice warm grow room is just a luxury hotel for those bastards. They felt the warmth and stayed for the Sauna.

Hey man, at least you got shit back up and working. Now you can fine tune shit and learn from mistakes. I'm just glad to see you're back and don't got a pissed off wife anymore, lol.
