So,

As the title says ive got mice. Its a garage in a block set apart from paolow towers and ordinarily I am a live and let live kind of guy. However, theyve taken to feasting on my homebrew supplies and the place is awash with droppings. Does there exist some sort of humane way of keeping them out? its a garage with an 'up and over' door and there is a gap at the bottom which presumably they use to get in and out. theres no power in there and my cat just wouldnt like being shut in there to do her job. I know ultrasonic things exist to drive them away. do they work? Id prefer to steer clear of 'humane traps' because I really am after a fit and forget solution. Does such a thing exist?

So your cat wouldn't like being shut in there? Get another cat specifically for inside the garage?

Get a cat to catch the mouse...
Mind you, then you'll need to get a dog to catch the cat to catch the mouse...
Having said that then you'll need to get goat to catch the dog to catch the cat to catch the mouse...
Jeez, then you'll need to get a cow to catch the goat, to catch the dog,to catch the cat to catch the mouse...
Then you'll need to get a horse, of course.

Get one of these I have a 2 car garage and haven't seen one single mouse since I plugged it in (or any droppings).

I'll bet you could wire one of these up an old car battery.

I find the back of a spade or other heavy garden implement is helpful in their demise.

Sometimes a second hefty blow is required to cease the twitching.
