Someone I knew who grew up on a farm in North Dakota told me they did not name cats because they were just "pest control".

OMG, removed THEM

Oh, I just paid them a lot to “seal” the house. Joe and I lived with the mice and removed him with ways animal rights people would not approve of, but we didn’t need professionals. (Lots of activated charcoal bags to keep the smell down as putrefying mice had died where their corpses couldn’t be got at.)

Animal rightists: I have my space; they have theirs. I am not the least ashamed of keeping those boundaries clear. Yes, in the very old days, I used mousing cats. Better?

We are having the same problem. Supposedly Critter Control "sealed" the house. Huh? Yeah, the joke's on us. So far I've resorted to buying quantities of traps from Amazon. See https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH01PA4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I have a problem that I need help solving.

    Mice.

    History: About 8-9 days ago I found out I have a mouse problem.
    I tried calling the city's pest controll to evict them before
    matters got worse. They told me they don't deel with mice.

    Problems: I can only guess just how bad the problem is. But it's
    safe to guess they're in the walls and or pipes someplace,
    because i've  thumped at least 4 possibly 5 the upstairs
    bathroom wich is...problematic at best.

    Also It turns out I have a small feer of mice leading to
    rambling incorehently on the phone to fam about the fuckers, a
    issue I am trying to resolve as best I can. Thank god for having
    some vallium on hand and some martial arts experience to stay
    calmER so that instead of pestering fam like calling them at 8pm
    on a Thursday to bich about them starting with Oh fuck their's a
    mouse and it's in my very nice and expensive tea, and it's
    friends are trying to go foraging on the kitchen table (Even
    though it was cleaned with bleach)

    I think what set me on tilte more than usual was trying to do
    some of the PT excersizes getting up and finding out calmly
    waching me looking both interested and perplexed--then going to
    bed for and finding a different one on my bed munching on
    something looking at me like he/she owned the house. I'm sure my
    rant and and the hell do I do I asked dad about will go down in
    history eventually.

    Question: What steps can I take in addition to take convince
    them the fams casita is deadly.

    So far I've put out easly 20 unique claptraps. The traditional
    kind.  With help from my friend sabina we started on  massive
    spring cleaning that was probably over do anyway.
    I keep running out of traps to put out. Between being pretting
    sure it's not getting to the root of the problem and running out
    clap traps.
    I have no clue what else can be done:
    What else can be done?
