That's my dog right now at 06:10am Jamie. Where she is sleeping, she has three different units all within 20 foot of her. One is right above her. She's sound asleep. She gets to chose where she lays. She has two beds to chose from. She has no problem with them whatsoever.

I would do what I did and go overload. I have three units in one large sized room. One unit in my kitchen.

I went for maximum overload. It has worked amazingly well for me. I am lucky in that we have plenty of power outlets in our cabin to plug them into (23 sockets). Get as many into your garage as you can would be my advice. Yes you leave them plugged in permanently Belch. They emit an Ultrasonic sound that we cannot hear.

The mice will not come back. Not going on what has happened here.

The road in which I'm in, has a long history of mouse problems. These ultrasonic things have 100% jogged them on from here though.

Really quick delivery by Amazon, the units arrived today, I have put two in the garage.
So far the traps have caught 2, hopefully the units will prevent any more coming in.

Last mouse in my garage traps was about 4 weeks ago, after a period of very heavy rain, last before that was probably the back end of winter. I plugged one of these units in on Saturday and b*gger me had a mouse in my trap this afternoon.

We had no mice inside the house when I first plugged them in Ged. From reading the Chinese blurb, it takes a few days for the rodent side to kick in. That was explained far better when I done some research and read 100's of reviews on all of the different units. They say you should expect to see MORE activity in the first few days. If you have mice that already made your house their home, under the floorboards for example dormant, these things wake them up and get them moving. Lots of people speak of seeing increased activity before the problem stops. It kind of made sense to me. But we had none inside when I first plugged them in. So they just have not come back. I had 8 traps. Since last September we have not caught one mouse in a trap. I've stopped baiting them now very recently for the first time since I moved here. Before last September, every year I was killing maybe upwards of 50 house or field mice a year in traps.

Once they are gone, in my experience so far, they are not coming back.

I'm sure they'll work in the long term Mark. I might rig up an extension so I can get two in the garage. I'll Keep a good eye on the traps for a while.

Hi, reading, it says works straight away when plugged in.
Says light is a Night Light.

On/Off button seems to switch blue Night Light on or off.
Wonder if unit still emits ultrasonic, if Night Light Switched off.
Looked around & found no info.

Hi, took one of these apart, very easy to do, without any damage.
Main thing, little screw under sticker at bottom. Little clips on sides & top, come out with little effort.
Plenty of things inside micro processor etc, speaker etc.
Can't post pics on here, maybe others can.

Glue traps are now banned for amateur use in the UK. In exceptional circumstances, professional pest controllers can use them but even they have to apply for an appropriate licence.

Well, one of the four has packed in. At least the light has gone out, but may still be emitting.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
