Ever notice this with mice

[polarice]

so was doing some clean-up in garage notice mouse droppings never noticed them at all in the previous months ... well i used to leave the radio on in the garage but the misses turned it off cause she could hear it in the house... so ok no radio set the traps caught three mice in short order....so turn radio back on bait the traps same as before and leave in same location wait about a week no mice ... turn radio off within four hours have my fourth mouse....or maybe they just dont like cjay92

Makes sense actually grandpa used to always leave the radio on in the pump house on the farm very rarely had mice in there and the sink drain was just a hole in the concrete at the bottom of the wall that free flowed out side water went from sink to the floor and out the hole no piping and rarely any mice

You might be on to something polarice. I leave a radio on in the shop 24/7 and there are no mice.

I will ask the question though; how come they will come into the house with the radio and TV going?

It must work like those hi freq. emitters. I once caught a mouse in our garage and put it in a bucket and I wanted to know if this emitter really worked. So I lifted it over the bucket and it was affected right away, the thing just acted all gimped and weird like it was having seizures, so I dropped the emitter into the bucket and the mouse died. Radio must work the same way where high frequencies repel the mice.

i also noticed this quite a few years ago, and would catch a mouse in the traps about every 3 or 4 days in the garage when we would always turn the stereo off........ the newer stereo we leave on, just turn the volume down, and hasn't had a mouse in the traps for over 2 years now. coincidense? I think not

as a public service to my fellow neighbors i am going to keep my radio off and the trap loaded for a bit ......

my dad has a couple and they seem to work, maybe the radio is a better option

Interesting find. I leave the radio on in my garage and no mice either.
Either that or the neighborhood cats are getting them.

Probably because you and your wife are cooking
