First, you have to catch ALL the mice. And are you absolutely sure it's just mice and no rats? Rats will take a bigger mousetrap (garbage can size). I find the five gallon bucket style of mouse trap works best, particularly for multiple mice. Bucket Mouse Traps | Five Gallon Ideas

It will take a few weeks to catch all the mice and their offspring. Then you can start clean up & disinfection (mice pee and poop constantly). If you can't wash it, then you will probably have to toss it. After you get everything cleaned up (and a good deal of stuff thrown away), then you can start repairing.

And keep the bucket traps going the whole time. You will probably flush more out of hiding during the clean up and repairs.

And wear respertive protection, the dust can kill you (haunta virus)

Tomcat Rodent Repellent spray is awesome stuff. Drives mice/rats out and they don't come back in. Is made with peppermint and cinnamon oil . Toxic to them but not to us or our pets. Smells good, too! My brother sprays it on the ground around his camper when we camp. I spray it in doorways, sink drains, drawers, or belly of camper, etc. A gallon jug lasts a long time! Home Depot has it.

We had a mouse infestation in our old house last winter. Those bastards are persistent. It took several months, and a whole lot of traps, to get them all. We sold the place in April, having not trapped a mouse in well over a month.
