this will sound stupid
but if you feed them
away from your place
thats where they will go...
so if there's a dumpster nearby
go grab some cheap bag of birdseed
and sprinkle some in it or under it...
(just until the exterminator gets his job done)
so they won't be looking for food
inside your place
and here's the other bit of info
you'll freak out on...
most mice and rats can climb houses with ease
they climb trees ...and can literally run up walls
i've seen it first hand and it blew my mind...
of course it depends on the outside wall material
and whether or not they can sink their sharp claws in it
to climb....
my point being, that the entry hole isn't necessarilly
on the ground level
also you can lightly sprinkle some white flour
on the linoleum floor
(if you have one) and it's like artificial snow
then in the morning you can check it
sometimes it helps you determine which direction
they came from and narrow down the search a little.
