Yeah, what I don't understand is, at an average of four mice per day, why the hell didn't the brewery get Towser an assistant mouser?

The key word is "CAT"
Cats are generally the best way to get rid of mice (but not rats). They make nice pets too.
The best way to get rid of mice is to plug up the holes they are coming in. Everything else is just controlling the population. A cat is smart enough, (or genetically evolved) not to kill the last mating pair.
No info on the electronics but a couple of posters suggested poison. Your neighbors will really appreciate it should you do so, especially outside, so when the critter wanders over to their yard before expiring, their pets can find and eat the toxic corpse.

Worse case scenario, if the rodents fed on nothing but the rodent bait and the pet found the rodents just after stuffing themselves and before relieving the bowels a
10 pound animal would have to totally consume 9-18 rats or 22-44 mice. A 25 pound dog would have to consume 22-45 rats or 56-112 mice. You should have more of a problem with the neighbor not feeding their pets.
or a 1-2 lb hawk or owl could expire from a single mouse.

the internet is a big place. the OP doesn't specify where they are. in my neighborhood, there are at least 3 nesting eagles, a lot of hawks, and too many owls to count. many large cities have nesting falcons and hawks in and around tall buildings.
