Mouse Sound Repellent - Home with Pet Hamsters?

[Mandy]

I am having a problem with mice in my kitchen. My landlord brought over mouse sound repellent in hopes to drive them into the basement where he put food and traps. My problem is that I have hamsters in the house. They are on my second floor in my daughter's room but there is a vent leading from the kitchen right up to her bedroom only a few feet from where the cages are. Will the sound affect them, or does it not travel that far? The vent is not the kind where you can look up and see right into the room. It does have some bends in it, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference? Thank you for any advice you can give.
