We have mice..well we did have one till we caught it in a trap. They give me the creeps, so they got to go. I just wondered if anyone had one of the ultrasonic pest control thing's you plug in,and does it work? I do have a cat so bang goes the theory that mice can smell cat's so wont go in your house. cheers Marion

Hi Marion, ive just bought one of the ultrasonic thingies, but ive not tried it yet cos my meeces are in the shed and I havent got power out there yet!! littles darlings ate a big hole in the swing cushions and had a ball with the wild bird food bag. I will probably have giant sun flowers going through the shed roof lol. and theyve got a nest in my sons tool box. Kate

Hi Marion, yes they do work , we had a mouse in the house it was driving us mad , it wouldn't eat the posion that we put down for it so we bought some mouse traps put some peanuts and chocolate in the traps , no nothing so a friend loaned us her rat and mouse control gadget it work wonders theyv'e gone so we bought 2 it goes around the electrics and drives them out hazelx

Hi Kate So I am not the only one with meeces lol. There are a few of the ultrasonic thing's advertised. They say it keeps beasties away too. I dont mind the beasties/spiders...just mice. They say there are going to be a lot more mice/rats around and they will be going 'in' for the winter. Marion

Thanks Hazel. I will just need to decide what one to get. Marion

Hi Marion,We have one for ants,it works like magic. We actually saw them leaving it was unbelievable to watch,I was amazed at how well it works. Good luck Roxanne

Roxanne, conjours up a vision of the ant pack in single file with their bags packed and dragging suitcases ''We're all going on a summer holiday.......''

Marion, if you google mouse repelant you will see them there i ordered mine on line and they were deliverd the next day hazelx

So, I will get one and watch all the beasties and mice run out the door with their wee suitcases, sounds good to me lol. Long as my cat doesn't go too. It does say cat's and dogs are ok. Marion

I had a plug-in thingy but it did no good even though the assistant in Robert Dyas swore by them. What sort of price has people paid for them on here? Maybe mine is not dear enough.

Aileen, i payed £26.95 plus £4. postage and packing if you google mouse repelant you will see them on there i got mine from Primrose hazelx

We live in a very old house in the country and bought lots from QVC and think they are worth the money,careful with some if you have pets. The french throw cheap moth balls in their loft space or anywhere bothered by mice and we do that as well. xx Jill

Hi Jill, does the moth balls work do you think hazelx

LoL Bob!! It was a bit like that,reminded me of that kids film ANTS!lol

Hazel, the local french all use them,I throw them in the roof space as we have sloping roof. We get the odd mouse try to come in but we are surrounded by fields and livestock so expect a few but very seldom have any problem. xxJill

Husband has just yelled out that they must be unperfumed xx Jill

lol - have visions of meeces with headaches (from the flung mothballs finding their targets!) 'OK boys - lets go - she's too good an aim!' Jac ps Ihave heard that the ultrasonic thingies work, but only if they are in the house (ie not in the floor space or roof space where there is unlikely to be power points into which to plug the devices). good luck with the decimation - all rodens should be destroyed! Jac

marion what you need is one hungry fox, tis true , i have the knoledge. you see every week i put out a mouse trap near my shed and every couple of days go and check it , it would be gone. hey id say to my oh we have very strong mice if they can still run with a trap on their tails. this went on for 7weeks,till one night i could not sleep so sat on the step chilling ( as you do) at 2 in the morning ,i heard a click and thought thats the trap, within seconds along came the fox across the hedge jumped down to the grass along to the shed picked up the mouse and trap and over the fence he went . heres me thinking i was going mad ? dawn x

Dawn if I get a fox...it might eat my cat lol The one Hazel suggested looks good. Marion

Hello Marion, We had a plague of meeces in the seed stores at work...100's of them - until the ultra sonic sound thingy! Wonderful! Tina x
