Being we live in the country (sort of) we have always had a couple of field mouse a year get into the house and make their presence known. I saw in YANKEE magazine a gadget that emits a noise that people and pets can't hear but is supposed to drive mice crazy. Has anyone used one of these or is it just a scam. Any help would be appreciated. thanks cmorjoe

It's just like the things you put on your bumper for Deer....don't waste your time with them....Buy some traps....Much Cheaper & they work...

My parents used to use one of those mouse things in the barn, first of all they're not "Silent" they make this weird clicking noise. I'm not really sure if it did anything.

That being said, yes mousetraps, the old style are the way to go, those gluetraps are NASTY. Or you could just remember that if you're living in the country, these things can happen!

Ditto what Keith said. Get some traps or get a cat! They both work well.

lol,well i guess i am against the grain.my house is 300+ years old,when i moved in 3 years ago my house was loaded,my cat caught 12 the first nite and was dead to the world the next day,i bought 20 traps,and made one that i read about in yankee mag.for the basement made out of a 5 gal. pail,a1/2 dowl,beer can,with peanut butter and a 2x4.the next day i have 7 dead from the cat,all the traps were full,and the bucket had 15 ,so i went out and got the electronic onesi have 2 in every room 5 in the basement,3 in the barn ,2 in the camper,2 in my boat.i dont have a mice problem at all,i also dont have any spiders,or ants
i first put them in the barn and they started to make the clicking noise as soon as it got cold,so they are junk when that happens,i found the ones that can take the cold at sears
