Evicting Mice
36 Answers
I've posted this is Animals and Nature too, but haven't got a response yet. I know S&C isn't really the place for this question, but I need urgent help, and hopefully more people will see it here, so here goes.
I have a country house, and winter visitors have arrived. I really would rather not poison them, but one way or another, obviously they have to go, so I wondered if anyone has used one of those sonic devices to evict mice - and do they work? If so, what is their range, and would I need one in every room?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Naomi, I know exactly what you need . . . GUMPTION! . . . with a capital "G"!
This is war! Dog eat dog, (sorry 'bout that), Survival of the fittest.
Kill the bums, they've already shown they're able and willing to eat you litterreally out of house and home. Before you know, given half a chance, they'll be running up your leg. I should know. <"?
Blast away! Toss the Geneva Conventions out the window. Be just as ruthless and merciless as we all know you can be when under attack. I'm rooty toot tooten for your side to be victorious! Send them back to their Creator and let Him sort it out!
Gotta run now . . . ~o">

Why don't you glue thousands of thumb tacks upside down all over your floor, then at night when the wee critters come out to play they will get stabbed multiple times in their feet which will undoubtably cause them to leave a trail of blood for you to follow. This way you can begin to map their movements over a period of weeks and in doing so gain an idea of the areas they regularly congregate thus allowing you to SET A FEW BLOODY MOUSE TRAPS IN APPROPIATE PLACES.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
You're right of course, Mibs (and why shouldn't someone with inside information be right?). War, with no holds barred, has been declared. Armed with terrifying WMDs, in the shape of poison and mousetraps, we launched an all out attack on Tuesday night. The following morning, we checked our positions only to find the sneaky enemy had outsmarted us. Not a single corpse - not even a nibble. A crisis meeting was called immediately, following which the nutty professor was sent to work in his laboratory (aka the garden shed) on what the War Cabinet believed would be an even more lethal weapon. Poison mixed with peanut butter. We checked our positions this morning - and voila! There is every indication that the enemy has indeed been outwitted!

You fought them on the seas and oceans,
You fought with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, (well the loft & cupboards) you defended your island, (well, house) whatever the cost was, (well, not at the cost of your dogs)
You fought them on the beaches,
You fought them on the landing grounds,
You fought them in the fields and streets,
You fought them in the hills,
You never surrendered..................................
