Any experiences with electronic mouse repellers? There's some snake oil around (e.g. the "electromagnetic" repeller that "penetrates walls, ceilings, and floors") but do the ultrasonic ones actually work?
The problem exists only in our kitchen and laundry room, which would be very difficult to seal. SWMBO uses 'bait' with some success but it needs constant attention and seems unfriendly. One repeller in each place would be better, if they worked.
I'vev heard they work for a few weeks then the mice get used to them and they have little effect. I've seen them in B here and Queue .
I've found amazon a good source of reviews on various products,worth a quick check as maybe some products are better than others. I'm guessing a cat isn;t a suitable choice.

We used to(*) get mice in every autumn when it started to get cold. Tried ultrasonic repeller thingies can't say they made a blind bit of difference.
We would live trap and deport up onto the fells several miles from any habitation, the little blighters can take their chances with the birds of prey, stoats, etc... As an experiment I tried switching one of the ultrasonic devices on/off whilst observing a mouse in the cage. It would certainly make 'em jump when switched on but had no other obvious effect. I guess it might keep them away from an open area, just like we wouldn't like to be in close proximity to a pneumatic drill unless we had a good reason to be there. A source of easy food would be a good reason...
Not had mice in since the cat adopted us...
Some friends bought several, and they did absolutely nothing to keep mice out. I also had concerns about the sound they generate - just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it can't damage your hearing. They also had two under-5's, and I was concerned what the sound might do to their hearing. Eventually, they got rid of them, I'm pleased to say.
No, Can't say we've noticed it making a difference to the mice that come into the house
I take it you do not like children then?
He probably does, but like me, he can't eat a full one :-)

Can't you just unplug it and put it away in a cupboard? ;-)
USB or PS2?
A bluetooth one would keep working though, well until the batteries went.
