They know that whats put down is "chemicals" and not to touch but being the age that they are at I dont really want to take the risk. They (the mice not the kids) have chewed at the edge of my carpets in places which is really annoying as the carpets arnt that old. I have plug ins but they dont seem to be keeping them away, I can still hear them and know that they are still there.
If you have the cheaper plug ins that emit sound only, you only prevent them from moving into that 'beam of sound'. If the plug is situated behind furniture, the sound is just bouncing around in the small area behind that furniture.
The plug in that I use (see link) makes the electrical wiring of the ring circuit pulsate with a pitch that cannot be tolerated by them in every room where that wiring goes
