Sonic things don’t work. Put all foods in mouseproof containers, which usually means airtight glass jars. 5 gallon paint buckets are mouseproof in the short term if you have bigger or oddly sized things. Find entry points and seal them with steel wool & expanding foam.

Old fashioned snap traps work best for stragglers. Poison creates resistance in rats & mice, they get too smart to eat it, they do eat it and then whatever cat or dog eats them dies of secondary poisoning, and/or they die in your walls and create a stink.
