We are doing traps and poison. Unfortunately, with poison they can drop dead anywhere and I almost stepped on a bloated corpse in my garage.

traps & stuff any holes with steel wool.

Call an exterminator. You need to seal off any holes the mice are coming in through AND kill and remove the bodies of the ones inside the house. It is gross. Most exterminators will give you a guarantee, so if after a month or so mice are still alive/getting in, they will come back for free. Don't get a cat unless you want a cat -- no guarantee they will catch mice and even if they do catch them, the results can be disgusting.
