We've recently discovered evidence of mice in our home in the Columbine area. It doesn't help that our next-door neighbor is a "bird lover" who dumps massive amounts of bird seed all over his yard, right on the part that borders ours.

Any recommendations for an exterminator who is good at ridding homes of mice? We spent about half a day last month cleaning up the tiles in our dropped-ceiling basement with lots of mouse poop and one dead mouse. I put in some of those "sonic" mouse repeller things and tried to stuff steel wool into anything outside opening that looked big enough for a mouse to come in,

Over the past few years I've found a couple of dead mice in the basement.

but then this morning there was a live mouse in the dog's food bowl!

I really hate this but the wife hates mice even more than I do and I just want to get rid of them.

Thanks in advance!
