We rent the top two floors of an old wood frame house. We moved in in August and, in the last month or so, have discovered that we have a mouse problem. Initially we thought it was just one mouse, but, after capturing 3 so far (and finding another dead one behind the fridge), we’re realizing that we have a much bigger problem.

We’re taking all the appropriate steps — plugging up all holes with steel wool, putting down traps, having an exterminator come by — so I guess my question is: is it possible to win this battle? Or are mice just too resourceful (and too quick to reproduce) to be successful? Any advice? Thanks!
