Default Mouse in my House!!!

ok not in my house but in my Warehouse, i had just today noticed droppings when one ran acoss the floor i have managed to spear one with a Metal spike

Anyone have any advice of how to get rid of them (fast!) other wise they are going to eat through everything x 10

I dont really want to put traps down as I think it will jsut attract more of them, are the ultra sonic things like this any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PESTCLEAR-2000...QQcmdZViewItem

Any advice or experaince appreciated!

No, my cat usually sees one and thats puts right to sleep. But I think the mice do get going when there is a cat in town.

Big no no for dumping a cat in there, you will spend hours trying to find him the next day as he punishes you...

And he/she WILL find a way out.

Had same prob in work put a few poison things down no more mice.

Another vote for the poison i reckon! Should be ok in a warehouse. Definitely wouldn't go for the cat idea though, as unless their in their own enviroment I would've said he/she is much more likely to hide for the night than hunt mice!!

I had same problem in my outbuilding that I recently converted into a gym. Every morning there was loads of mouse droppings all over the place. My cats are excellent mousers but even they got sick of eating so many mice. Put traps down and caught one or two every night (mice not cats!) but still had to clean up the droppings.

Bought one of the ultra sonic things last week and no more mice! Going to buy some more for other storerooms etc. Don't like idea of poison as mice then rot away and smell or poison could effect other animals etc.

Local DIY place had sonic things at £15 each or 3 for £30 I think

Where did you get the ones you purchased? From what i have heard some work some dont, I want to get the ones that work!

Definetly dont want to poison down, I had rats in another building under the floor, thye absoloutly stunk when they died, and brought with them hundreds of flys

Idiot. Do you believe everything you read on here without checking it first?

Horses eat stoats, not mice.

Get your facts right, fool

Get some mouse traps, cheap and you will get rid of the mice in a few nights.

Easiest & quickest way.
