Mice come for food, same with rats, if you can have a cat at your residence, get one, if not, try using some pesticides from your local hardware store. They are somewhat messy because if they hide within the walls, they could very much stink up your house. There are also those black boxes you see outside business's. Try them and see if that helps with your problem.What is the best way to get red of mice?
Get a cat
Oh please, just go to the hardware store (Ace, Menards, etc.) and ask one of the workers. They can direct you.
