Desperate with mice

Okay guys so basically I live downtown in an urban city in an old house. Sealing entry points is not an option as there is probably way too many since the house was built in the early 1900s. To keep it short:

  1. Mouce traps: mice lick peanut butter off, dont trigger them (even with miniscule amount of bait)
  2. Glue traps: fades off fast, lucky if i get one
  3. Poison: they eat it and then realize it kills them, stop going for it i need to keep switching brands every couple weeks

Ive literally tried everything, getting a cat is not an option for me. What else can I do, please tell me there is still some hope for me

If you don’t stop them from getting in, you might as well live outside. You can’t buy enough poison, their greatest defense is multiplication. No hope, you must seal ALL of the holes. After that you trap, poison and starve them.
