Looked into these. They have never been proven to work, my local pet shop used to stock them but they stopped after testing on beside a mouse cage and the mouse didn't mind it at all.
Dont worry about it OP we live beside a field and get mice every year. If you use a humane trap you have to take them at least a mile or two away or they will find their way home.
Some sound advice here :thumbsup:

They can fit through ridiculously small holes, get a couple of traps and set them for your own peace of mind. Remember they will always do their best to avoid you so nothing to be worried about
Chances are you won't see them, the give away though is droppings around the skirting board, get if you have a uv strip,bulb/torch of any kind this will show up their urine trails.
Local council offer a pest control service (free for mice) so will call them tomorrow....hopefully they can look at droppings and say yes or no
So my advice is clear up the droppings and make sure there is no crumbs or food lying about. If the droppings come back then go and buy like 50 mouses traps and a kilo of Peanut butter (they like the crunchy stuff better) and hide them behind the white goods. Then be prepared to see a mouse with a severed neck in the morning.
