BTW -- I tried the "supersonic noise" device, but several Japanese friends told me that was like a "jukebox for mice", and they just dance to the music
We used to have cats and the mice still occasionally walked around freely. We had one cat get stuck underneath a sideboard multiple times when chasing a mouse, we had to lift the sideboard for her to get out of it.

I've been thinking of borrowing a cat. The problem with our house is that it's big, with all kinds of hiding places. So a cat can easily hide, you don't want that to happen to a cat you borrowed.

Last night there was no sound of mice moving around. Hopefully my blockage will keep working.

I have one of those supersonic squeaky things. It works occasionally, but I've read mice can get used to the sound. But I've had it scare away mice that took up residence in between the ceiling. But it didn't work for this mouse.
