Inspection is necessary
When you hire a pro, they can examine the whole building and look for the best way to get rid of the mice. They can get inside the building and inspect the whole area.

Sealing the entrance
A pro can determine which place to seal. Rodents can actually chew on everything and you may want to keep the gap shut with something like mesh made of steel. You can also use sealant that may block air circulation. This way, a mouse can’t smell your house.

Trapping the mice
Once the mice are inside the building, it is time to set traps so you can catch while you still can. The mice are now locked inside the building and it will be easier to catch them alive because they have nowhere else to run.
