The problem I had with peanut butter in a trap was that it worked brilliantly but I think that the smell of the peanut butter was attracting them in.I have tried pretty much everything over the years. The only thing that has been truly effective sadly is peanut butter in a trap.
You can try the humane traps and release them but that is illegal.
Any deterrent will only work for so long if you have an attractive place for them. If it is warm, dry and sheltered they will learn to tolerate pretty much anything from smells to sounds. Even humans stomping around within feet will not scare them off.
I have trapped 20 in the last 2 weeks. Last 2 days are my first days mouse free. But they breed rapidly so they will be back.
I am pretty sure it does. But it does ensure you get the entire local population meaning it is a while before they do come back if at all.The problem I had with peanut butter in a trap was that it worked brilliantly but I think that the smell of the peanut butter was attracting them in.

'Snakes in the van', is that a possible sequel film?Get a pet snake, if it doesn't scare them away it'll eat them, win, win

Are they not now illegal to use unless you are a licenced pest control operative???Glue mats placed near every possible entry point.
They only step on them once.
If they are near the edge of the mat just cut around them and put the mat back down ....saves throwing a 'still useful' mat away.

Conscience in my case.Illegal or not they are freely available on Amazon and probably garden centers and hardware shops as well.
If illegal how will it be policed?
Yes I am sure they are.. and it's not "if illegal" but "is illegal"Illegal or not they are freely available on Amazon and probably garden centers and hardware shops as well.

That is the worst possible solution, it is cruel beyond belief. Even if you check them hourly you still have an animal that will get trapped and thrash around and eventually get it's body stuck.Glue mats placed near every possible entry point.
Don't suggest this to our grandson. He is desperate for a pet snake.Get a pet snake, if it doesn't scare them away it'll eat them, win, win
