Looking for any personal experiences with the electronic deterrence devices (like vermix pulse pro) specifically for cabins that aren't lived in every day. Do they work or waste of money? Also any other effective strategies the OB might have run across.

This stuff is great for stuffing in holes/gaps. It's like a scotch brite pad, but has sharp stainless steel wire running through it (you'll cut yourself if not using gloves):

I also use the WEIGHTED bait boxes around my cabin, and use FINAL bait chunks. They have more grain in them, which makes the rodents want to consume more:

The weighted boxes work better than cheaper non-weighted. Without the heavy weight on the bottom, raccoons will attempt to flip the boxes over and shake bait out.

Also, had better luck with these traps (they can be purchased cheaper, elsewhere), than the old traditional wood. Load with small amount of chunky peanut butter.

Once I stuffed the lower corners of my metal barndo with the Excluder fabric, I had no more issues with mice getting in. They also make a garage door seal, thst mice won't chew into…

When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

I've got two of the electronic ones going near my hunting vehicles. I don't know if they work or am I just lucky? Either way I have no signs of rodents under hoods. I run two because if they do work and one goes out there's another. Not quite sure how to tell if they emitting sound.

Is not opt for the humane effort if there is an alternative. I want it painful for them to be there.

Rat snakes. The only correct answer is rat snakes.

We used to put any rat snakes we caught in zoo grounds in the hay barn. No issues with mice or rats.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

When ever we caught a rat snake we'd put it in the hay barn.

I don't think the electronic stuff works. Problem is how do you tell if it's working or not?

Yea my mechanic told me about how great they are. He swears it keeps rodents as well as wasps away from his shop. I have no signs of rodents in my hunting rigs at ranch. Maybe I'm just lucky I don't know but I'll keep them plugged in in the event that they work.

Those electronics are like flashy fishing lures…. They catch more people than anything else.

These are fun. Wouldn't recommend them for locations that aren't checked daily, though. Especially in the summer.
