why choose a user name then add your own name to the question?
the way to make mice move on is to disturb where they are nesting and eating and keep on doing it. Remove any potential nest material and any food, this includes some kinds of plastics and paper. If you r shed is on bearers then shove something underneath and disturb what is under there and do this at least daily. Move things around in the shed on a daily basis.

Smell is dead rotting mice...that will attract more. You best buy a penny whistle ;)

Thank you Wolfgang. I`m 80 yrs old and find this rather difficult. Why does it matter to you what I`m called?

[woofgang]

well the point of choosing a user name and not using your own name is to preserve privacy on the net. It just struck me as odd that you chose a user name unlike your own and then signed your post with what i presume is your own name.

Hi N. Horner and welcome. I found this for you, hope it helps;
Traps are probably one of the most traditional ways of catching mice. There are many kinds of traps, from snap devices to cage setups. Although it requires more cunning than using mothballs, trap setting can eradicate the mouse problem without having adverse effects on a person's health. There are also other anti-rodent mechanisms such as electronic audio devices that emit an irritating, high-pitched sound and scare mice off.
Herbs and Other Home Remedies
It is hard for natural elements to process naphthalene moth balls, making them hazards for the environment. There are more earth-friendly solutions to rodent problems, and most of these can be found around the house. Herbs, plants, and extracts such as mint, bay leaves, and peppermint oil are only some of the home remedies for this pest issue.
Combination
These techniques are not exclusive of each other --- in fact, they will work best when employed together. As with any other pest trouble, dealing with mice takes effort and patience.
