the ultrasonic things do not work at least with the mice around here. 
maybe little sensitive house mice would be intimidated but not the field 
or deer mice. the LED strobe light was the only thing that worked as a 
deterrent that was not toxic (moth balls) smelly (bounce dryer sheets) 
or expensive (cat piss based deterrents)  it really does keep them away, 
they can't stand bright flashing light. this method has been used in 
commercial graineries (sp) for years to keep rats away and there is a 
lot of data to support the effectiveness against rats but little about 
mice. until i tried it i had no idea if it would work or not. my tests 
proved that it did with both field (little grey things) and deer mice 
(almost as big as rats).
