To kill mice-the most effective thing is "rat poison"...small green block things, they will eat and die. I do NOT however recommend doing this with the dogs in the house-if they eat a block *or* a dead mouse, they will become very ill. I only recommend it if you have a pet free home for a while, and can handle little mouse bodys bleeding all over your house. Otherwise, sticky traps worked for us a while back. Is there anyway you can find where they are coming from? Walk around your house and check your foundation for apparant holes, if you find any then use steel wool in the hole.
