I had same problem. *I would go with the extermination route because the problem doesn't go away for good and the mice will keep coming back. *The exterminator will place the appropriate traps both exterior and interior and can get into places you can't. Mice were gone very quickly. *The exterminator comes back every 3 month to refresh the traps. *Problem solved. Mike- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Exterminator coming back every three months is just as annoying as mice coming back. My neighbor is visited monthly by his exterminator for bugs. Cannot imagine costing much less than $100 per visit. |
