My review
Our house had mice infestation for about a year now. I've tried lot of products up till now and I have to say Home Sentinel's Pest Control Repeller seems promising. I'll list few of the products I have used so far
1)Glue traps - Works good when placed at right locations like narrow passage way and near a bait. I've caught 20+ mice with this product.
2)Snap-E Mouse Trap by Kness. This product also worked good, caught few mice with peanut butter bait at center.
3)D-con mice poison. Came with 6 Poison blocks? I can see the mice likes this after watching the poison block getting smaller as they chew through it. I can't share the results on this one cause I haven't seen dead mouse. They might have died behind the walls.
4)100% Peppermint oil - This seem to work good as a mouse repellent but the mouse would come back once the smell weakens which seem to be around 7-10 days later (used 3drops to each end of Q-tip).
5)I've bought a cheap chinese brand Electro-Magnetic sound repellent, this doesn't seem to work at all, I use it as night light.
I read moth ball works but I didn't want to use it in the house cause I read the smell is poisonous.
No matter how many I kill there seem to be more cause I can hear the mice behind the walls chewing through the wood and making squeaking sound. We try to keep our house as clean as possible, and I can't find any opening from the outside of the house.
I got this product on Nov/19. We have a beagle/terrier mix dog that is 7 year old. First I have placed this product on outlet that is about 5cm from the ground, and my dog realized the ultra-sonic sound that came from it. Our dog gets afraid of high beep sound like (smoke alarm when the battery is low), so as soon as she heard this she ran away scared. The pet safe feature seem to work cause when I turned it on she was fine after few minute.
I wanted to use full features this product offers (High Ultra sonic sound) because of the previous failed electro-magnetic repellent. So I moved this product to a outlet that is 5m from the floor in the kitchen, and our dog didn't seem to get bothered by it.
Previous few nights before I received this product I was hearing mice behind the wall near kitchen. And the night after I put this product I didn't hear as much as before. I would hear 2-3 second of mice and it would disappear, seem as if its driving mice away from the kitchen. I would need to test it out for a month and see how it last.
Will update after a month.

This seem to work well in kitchen, only caught one 5 days later.
Only problem is that this product doesn't seem to cover lot of space. I've noticed activity in living room 15/20ft away where they tried to go through dirt in plants for food. Caught three more mice in living room. I've been also hearing some noises on other part of the house. Either I put this in every room I hear mice moving or I have to buy more powerful product.

I've been hearing mice in kitchen, I guess this one isn't affected by the ultra sound.
