We had a service come out after weeks of putting out traps at night and putting them away during the day when my son was up. DIY we caught 0 mice. The service did a full inspection, sealed up two entry point we would have never noticed and placed traps in places i wouldn’t have thought to. We use kill traps, and the only place we have ever caught them is the laundry room behind a locked door, so we leave a trap there 24/7. We have caught probably a dozen mice in the last year, always in the same spot. The service was about $300 (one time) and was 150% worth it.

I will say also that a good company will 100% guarantee their work IF you live in a single family home. We live in a townhome, so we can’t control what our neighbors do, hence why they didn’t stop completely. Still, it kept them out of our living space and under control so that’s good enough for now (we rent).

All I have to say is don't use glue traps. As others noted, they don't kill the mice and you'll just come home to the most terrible screeching sound. My landlord in college put down glue traps when we had a mouse problem and then wouldn't come back once there was a mouse stuck in the trap... it was terrible.

So grossed out to say this, but in our last house we had rats in the attic. Thankfully, they never made it into the house or the garage, but we heard them scurry around. Initially, we just had a pest control set up traps and had our lawn guys trim the trees back from the house so they couldn't get on the roof, which was the entry point. Eventually, we wanted a better, more permanent solution and we had the pest control fix the roof and filled/ glued up entry points. That costs us $1,000, but we didn't have any issues at all after that.
