Mice in the loft....

[thegobetween]

Hmmm... has anyone had this problem and got a good / effective way of getting rid - they're keeping us awake with the noise! We have tried poison and traps and although we catch a couple, they're still here.

Anyone used the ultrasonic / electromagnetic devices and are they effective?

Be good to hear advice !

hehe got a cat but difficult in the loft as its the space between ceiling and loft floor...also poison in there now so we could have a dead cat:

dead cat = dead me

If the ultrasonic things worked, rentokil would have gone bust years ago.

Good point

Ultrasonics don't work. Snake oil.

Electromagnetics do, and I know of several pest control companies that use them.

Ah thats interesting... I bought an Ultrasonic device from B&Q and it was about as much use as my wife in the kitchen...

But the electro-magnetic devices are OK?

Can these be used from the bedroom to control the loft space?

Don't get a a cat specifically to solve the problem as not all cats are good mousers and thats totally the wrong reason to get a cat, however, prior to us getting a cat we had a mouse problem in the loft tried everything couldn't get rid of them. We got our cat who turned out be an excellent mouser (they told us at the re-homong centre they expected him to be a quiet mainly house cat - how wrong they were!), we couldn't put him in the loft but the mouse problem did go and there were pleanty of hald eaten dead mice around to prove he was doing his job. He was catching them outside before they went into the loft. We actually heard from our nieghbours that they had been having a similar problem, which vanished with the arival of our cat!

Our cat is fat and lazy. I think I might get the mother-in law 'round. She always makes me want to flee the house.
