You can throw objects at mimics if you know there's a monster there

Browse Source 
Part of the reasoning behind thrown objects not hitting mimics is
that a character who doesn't know there's a mimic there wouldn't
aim at it. But if you know there's a monster there (e.g. via
telepathy or monster detection), you would aim at it. Pushing a
boulder at it and hearing a monster works too (which is important
in cases where a mimic is trapped behind a boulder in the Sokoban
corridors).
