There is a poison you can get in Woodies they're like little blue balls. I just put that through the gaps in the floor boards and that gets rid of them. I found the plug in device didn't help at all.
Getting rid of mice is usually not that easy.
We had them every winter for several years. If you have them under the floor in August then they must be well established, usually they don't come into the house until the weather gets cold.
The poison is generally effective, however you do not want dead mice under the floor boards.
I can see no reason to lift the floor boards. The mice won't come out with their hands up just because you lifted the floor.
I suggest traps. I found the cheap wooden ones to be better than the plastic type. I also found chocolate to be the best bait.
You also want to try to block the access points into the house. Look carefully to see where they might be getting in, and fill with expandable foam. Places like the drain from the kitchen sink. Getting rid of them is fine but you don't want more mice coming back.
And the best tip of all, get a cat. I really believe that this is what made the difference for us.
We have been mouse free for 2 years, fingers crossed for this year.

I don't know about this, but our cat has brought in a mouse for the last 3 weeks every second day. I hate when they are half dead.

You do know you are supposed to finish 'em off
I only bother wasps when they get to the point in the year that the queen stops breeding and they are driven out looking for sugar as a result. I have a specific technique which has so far (finger's crossed!) resulted in any retributionFirst whack is purely directional - get them to a window that has light coming in, they will tend to stay there and they are then easier to deal with - once the wasp is on the window every whack after that is a killer blow...
