Welcome. I think this is a hard thing to sell. Where there are chickens, mice try to be. I have mine under control using the pouches in @Debbie292d article, but I believe the best one can do is have it under control. Maybe the combination of the pouches, a cat and some traps. The problem is how fast and how many they procreate.
 
Welcome to BYC, John. I'm phobic too. That isn't an exaggeration. I can't even stand to look at a picture of a mouse or rat.
It was my biggest fear when my husband wanted chickens so he built a fortress with hardware cloth top to bottom. We also have a cat who is an extraordinary mouser. I don't know what I'd do without her.
 
Hopefully you get some chickens and it won't cause a mouse problem. I generally only try to to feed what the chickens will eat during the day so there isn't any food for mice to get into at night.

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
