Ayesha -
Ultrasonic devices simply move mice around. NOT a solution. Snap trapping
with peanut butter as bait works well.

div.yiv0948234766WordSection1 {}-->Hello all I’m working as part of a moves
project at the moment and we’re having a dramatic increase in mice activity in
our collections space recently. We think it’s related to works in another part
of the building and we know the storage space next door has a lot of mice too.
We’re working on moving out of the building as soon as possible (another 2-3
years) but were wondering in the meantime if anyone has any successful
strategies for discouraging mice from getting into collections. We’ve found
only one or two nibbled objects but there has been a lot of evidence of
nesting, especially on lower shelves. We thought about bringing a cat in but
next door has been using poison on their mice; we’re not super keen on cleaning
up dead mice either. Has anyone used one of those ultrasonic repellents? Any
suggestions are welcome, Ayesha. -- Dr Ayesha Fuentes Isaac
