Need help keeping mice far away

7 years ago

I’ve seen a mouse along my driveway squeezing into the stone retaining wall. I am afraid it’s a matter of time before they sneak in through the garage one day. Please recommend how I can keep them at bay. Any ultrasound repellents that actually work?

Snap traps along the garage walls if you don’t have pets or little kids.

Ultrasound devices don't work. Traps do.

If your climate is mild, you can adopt a neutered/spayed feral cat or two.
