Friggin RODENTS

Live in the sticks and mice will forever be an endless problem. I absolutely loathe them. They get in my tractors, cabs, headliners, vehicles in the shop, in the animal feed… No matter what I do, they keep coming. They eat all the poison I give them, yet they keep coming. Trapping is most effective, IMO, but it requires constant attention and work. Dave… I hate cats as much as anyone… and even I am considering adopting a barn cat. I’m simply at my wit’s end with rodents.
Hear me out. I'm thinking of an option that hasn't been mentioned yet. It sounds like a barn cat "might" be okay "if" it stayed outside? Have you considered getting rid of your wife so the cat can stay outside? I mean. . . HOW bad do you want to get rid of the mice?

Mix cornmeal, baking soda and sugar in a container. Mice can't burp or fart, so they bloat internally and die. It's not dangerous to anything that would eat them either or anything that would eat the mixture itself, ie dog, cat etc.

You know my vote. I was never a fan of cats. However. Living here, having one outside is almost a necessity. We've gone through three in the three years I've been here. One was my fault. Two disappeared. Out county shelter runs $20 barn cat specials. I'll just keeping picking one up when needed.
We've gotten a new one since you guys left. I have hardly seen a single squirrel since then, not one snake, and no mice in the shop.

If the Barn Cat option isn't for you, and you haven't warmed up to snakes either then you are left with the plague or...
I used the smaller electronic pest controller in my barn when I had the camper in there. I plugged one on each wall of the barn and one in the camper. Never saw any signs of mice when I did that. Not 100% sure that was what kept them out though because I have a barn cat. 
Only bad thing about a barn cat is it will jump on every single car you own. I cringe every time i see those damn paw prints.

There are options. If you want to keep the wife and get rid of the barn issues: Option suggestion number 2 would be to get rid of the barn.
I'm a problem solver Dave. I'll keep thinking of options outside a cat for you.
