Mice problem in Dorchester, MA. Exterminator needed!

hi,

i also have a mouse problem in the 1st floor unit of a 3 unit condo building in dorchester, ma.  does anyone have an exterminator they could refer me to or any advice on how to protect my tenants from rodents?  the exterminators i've spoken to want to do the entire condo building, including each individual unit and charge $1K+.  i'm hoping to find someone that can either do it a little cheaper or that can do just my unit. 

thanks!

What I have found with exterminators is that they are great at killing / poisoning pests. You really need to make sure to identify where the critters are entering the property and use spray foam to close all gaps.

Also, I'd be hesitant to use poison inside. Besides potential danger to people and pets, you don't want any critters dying in the walls.
