Pest (Mice) Control Recommendations

Just moved into a new place that had people already living there. A Tree fell down on roof last month and it took until yesterday for the landlord to get a vendor out to began working on the damages. This was due to insurance. Well, I presume, due to the roofing issue, mice has now made our place their home. The construction crew found some in the downstairs bathroom this morning where they are working at. Plus, roomies already said they saw at least two mice. So, with that being said, we need some recommendations and advice. The roof is now seal as of today. So, that's out the way.

I promise you the mice were living there before your roof issues. They've just been displaced to be noticed.

For a solution, look into diy 5 gallon bucket mouse traps. Generally its a spinning bit of pvc pipe, some peanut butter, and water (to drown the mice)
