Larry - Don't think I am crazy when I tell you the following! For the ant problem, the following is a formular that works. Especially if the ants are carpenter ants. The active ingrediant in exterminaters kit is boric acid. I was told about the following formular by a professional exterminater and it works!!
Buy 5 pounds of boraxo soap powder. -Boraxo is boric acid and pumice!- Buy 5 pounds of sugar. mix them together thoroughly and spread it around the areas that the ants frequent. The ants are drawn by the sugar and the boraxo ( which is the boric acid and pumice) It will will kill them. I have my shop in a shed as you do. The damn ants just about destroyed my shed and I did exactly what I suggest and I havn't seen an ant since.
The only problem you have that I didn't have is two cats. I have no idea if the cats will go after the sugar and boraxo mixture.
As for the mice -- Glue traps are pisser, just place them where the cats cannot get to them.
