also using peppermint oil is supposed to defer them so place that everywhere and maybe sure any holes are filled with steel wool and then covered

Snap traps with peanut butter.

Please don’t use poison. Mice don’t die immediately after eating poison. They can then be eaten by birds of prey, foxes, cats, etc., who can then die from ingesting the poisoned mice.

You’re welcome.

My $.02 is that once you catch a few in the traps you’ll notice that it’s never ending since traps are just a one at a time game.

Instead need an approach that lets them kill themselves en masse ie poison. But if a non-professional just places poison here and there (as i used to) there’s chance kids and pets will get into it. Also the issue that the attractive poison itself can draw hungry mice to the area so really want it placed in as exact a location as possible.

Mice are ubiquitous in New England this time of year. Look up common ways to keep them at bay, and seek professional extermination. You likely will never get rid of them for good.
