The worst nightmare with rodents is when they decide the wiring insulation of your car is delicious. It happened to a pal of mine. He ended up having to fit a new wiring loom.

I have put a lot of poison down in my barn - it seems to work. I find a lot of dead ones at least. Having your loom nibbled would not be fun.

We didn't have a mouse problem until a couple of years ago. Then the neighbour put some decking down. When it got to the point that you could see six at a time running round we took action. Since then we've trapped over sixty. Only four this year so far though.
I have a sonic device in the garage. No mice so far.

Our two ginger cats like to claim credit for keeping the mouse population under control, although I suspect it's the local foxes, kestrels, owls and buzzards that do the bulk of the work.
Now all the sheep and goats have gone and we're just down to 2 llamas, our fields seem to have been turned into a 5-acre mouse ranch by the local predators.
