Re: OT: ultrasonic rodent repellers

Hi Marek,

Yes, I have a cat; she's very sweet but not much of a hunter, 
unfortunately.  My problem is not that the mice eat my tubers. My 
problem is that they had gotten into the walls and ceiling of my 
headhouse and made a stinking mess. I need to prevent them from doing 
that again.
