I don't know if they're getting in via open doors or unseen holes.Has anyone had experience of using a repellent?

My repellent is very effective - haven't had a mouse in 2 years.
My repellent has grey fur and 4 legs and sharp pointy teeth.

I knew I should have added "I don't want a bloody cat".

The damned animals should never have been brought into NZ.

Try little pictures of Jenny Shipley. The only problem you will have is mouse droppings and skid marks from departing rodents.

Snakes are an excellent alternative. I saw it on that extreme program today!

It's actually called "poison".

I want to keep them out.
I trap them then release them in the bush 200m. away with no cab fare.

Might be climbing up the water pipe for the hot water cylinder (where I found at my house). They then chewed a hole/tunnel on the floor near the door in the cylinder cupboard to get under. Occasionally spray penetrating oil (similar to WD 40), and sprinkled black pepper down the water pipe, and filled the hole up...

Stand quietly by the entrance,when you see them knock them out,put in a bucket and take to bush 200 yards away,by which time they should be recovering enough to let them go on their way.
