Do the plug in repellers work?

Some people think so. Not sure their efficacy has ever been proven though.
Personally I doubt it.

Nope. Poison does.

You obviously can't discern their stink from your own senile stink, senile

Not for long though. Once theyve shrivelled up and dried up the smell
goes.

I find they dont stink at all.

And my nose isnt ****ed either, noticed the
distinctive smell when one of my neighbours
stopped his diesel ute with his engine running
while talking to someone there outside his ute
in the park/walk way next to my house.

It would work quite well on you, too, you pesky varmint!

I put off using poison for fear of a smell;. I gave in and started using it about 5 years ago, never had a smell.

It would probably work on you too; only having dead mice under the
floorboards is probably bad enough as it is.

No.
They **** off guide dogs though.
Most rodents follow their trails and seem immune to most external things.
Find the food source, cut it off then try traps.

They see that one or a few of them die after taking the baits and they won't
eat the baits, senile idiot!

Nope! Finding and cutting off the food (and even water) source is the most
effective way of getting rid of any pest, dumb Mr Know-it-all!

Not IME.

Chocolate baited mouse traps do. Peanut butter also attracts them, but
some seem able to eat that off the bait prong without tripping the trap.

They can certainly hear them. We live capture and deport up onto the
moor miles (litrally) from any habitation. When one deportee was in
the cage I switched an acoustic "repeller" on and off a few times.
Mousey jumped every time it was switched on but otherwise didn't seem
to be bothered.

As a repeller doubtful, the mice still came in in the winter...

Peanut butter also goes rancid, chocolate spread doesn't.

I use a block of chocolate. I suspect that spread would suffer the same
problem as peanut butter; a mouse nibbling the relatively soft material
might not trip the trap.

I'll add another 'no', based on a relative's experience of using them.

My neighbour tried one (we get mice every harvest time).

It worked for nearly a week.

Only if you unplug them and throw them with a good aim.



One type of trap I have had reasonable success with is electronic

http://www.victorpest.co.uk/shop/rat...ectronic-traps

Neck breakers can be effective but often the buggers can take the bait
without tripping them.

A useful thing to find out where the run is if it is not obvious such as in
a loft with a lot of insulation
Is a wildlife trap camera that can work in the dark, one may help see where
they are getting access so it can be blocked and if it a mouse ( get a cat)
or a Rat ( get a Terrier).

For repelling Elephants yes . We plugged one in about a six months ago
(didn't buy it MiL went into a home so we 'inherited' it) since that
time we have had zero elephants in the living room, proof positive that
it works as an Elephant repeller, but as for Mice it probably doesn't
work (but we haven't seen any mice either).
Being rural we used to get field mice a lot but this time of year they
seem to prefer all the fresh fruit and Berries and all the fresh air,(
may well be a different story come winter).
